Johns Hopkins Medicine has built a reputation for excellence unsurpassed by any health care institution in the world. Pioneers in their fields, Johns Hopkins clinicians and scientists have been responsible for many of the last century’s major discoveries and innovations in patient care and research. Because of our global reach, people from around the world come to Johns Hopkins, confident they will receive the most comprehensive medical care available anywhere.
The story of Johns Hopkins is—at its heart—a story of philanthropy. Johns Hopkins Medicine owes its existence, and its continuing excellence, to the generosity of private individuals. Philanthropy allows Johns Hopkins Medicine to continue its ongoing efforts as a leader in innovative and compassionate treatment, groundbreaking research, and cutting-edge education.
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Johns Hopkins provides a full complement of specialties, including an expanded spine service, orthopaedic oncology, sports medicine, foot and ankle surgery, adult reconstructive surgery, trauma, pediatrics and hand surgery.
World-renowned faculty members provide diagnostic and therapeutic services appropriate to the management of congenital or acquired musculoskeletal malfunctions, malalignments, and defects of bones, joints, and associated structures.
Although government grants and reimbursements for patient care continue to support these research endeavors, such funds have been drastically reduced in today's economic and political environment. Financial support from patients and friends are necessary to maintain our tradition of medical excellence.
How your gift helps the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
The research programs of the Department have been made possible through the generosity of our patients and donors.
Contributions can be made in support of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery or can be restricted to benefit the work of a specific surgeon or a specific division within the Department. With your help, we can continue to make major strides in advancing our research and providing a better quality of life for the world. Thank you for your partnership.

A Special Gift
Johns Hopkins
Who Was He?
The original gift from our founder Johns Hopkins in 1873 was, at that time, the largest philanthropic bequest in U.S. history.
It enabled our institution to be free of outside influences from both church and state, and it supported the creation of the climate of innovation for which we are known.
