The purpose of the JHCRN is to accelerate the transfer of new diagnostic, treatment, and disease prevention advances from the research arena into patient care. This bridge between Hopkins and select community hospitals creates a collaborative system that ensures a seamless platform for conducting clinical research and a broader and more diverse pool of clinical investigators and patients for studies.
In addition to the five major hospitals within Johns Hopkins Medicine, four major hospitals have joined the JHCRN including Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC) in Annapolis, Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC) in Northern Baltimore County, Inova Health System in Northern Virginia, and Peninsula Regional Medical Center on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
