All affiliates of the Johns Hopkins Institutions are being invited. The Johns Hopkins University is a large and diverse organization. Three schools and the Hospital are located on the East Baltimore campus: the Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing. Attendees are expected to come from other affiliates including Johns Hopkins Health System, Kennedy-Krieger Institute, and the main academic campus of the Johns Hopkins University.
