The Center to Humanize Medicine was founded with the commitment to eliminate dehumanization in healthcare, support relationships that benefit patients and clinicians, and share that knowledge with the world through research and innovations – both clinical and in health professions education. We are committed to the vision that each patient is known as a person, understood, respected, treated with dignity, and shown compassion; and each healthcare professional is fulfilled in their work through human connection and relationships.
The Center to Humanize Medicine is funded by the Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Medicine (CIM) – founded and led by Dr. David Hellmann. We are most grateful to the generous donors whose support makes our work possible.
