Chronicles Johns Hopkins Medicine's triumphs and challenges during the last ten years, including the institution's global leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Leading the Change: Johns Hopkins Medicine from 2012 to 2022, Karen Nitkin describes a remarkable decade in the history of the institution—an era of growth, innovation, and adaptation. Guided by Paul B. Rothman, the former dean of the medical faculty and the CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine, this prestigious medical school and health system cemented its status as a leader in medical education, research, and patient care. This was particularly true during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the world turned to Johns Hopkins for evidence-based information and expertise.

In this beautifully designed volume, Nitkin introduces the leaders, clinicians, researchers, educators, students, patients, and community members who collaborate to make Johns Hopkins an exemplary place to work, learn, teach, research, and heal. Leading the Change covers many triumphs and challenges, including a Nobel Prize win, historic surgeries, the implementation of a groundbreaking precision medicine approach, innovations in medical education, and ongoing work to address health inequities in Baltimore and Washington, DC. Nitkin chronicles how a leading organization weathered a tumultuous decade—and emerged stronger than ever.

Filled with photographs and informed by dozens of interviews, the book is a companion to Leading the Way: A History of Johns Hopkins Medicine, which traces the extraordinary story of Johns Hopkins Medicine from its founding in 1889 through 2011.
