Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute

Established in 2000, The Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute (UHI) aims to bring the resources of the Johns Hopkins institutions to the City of Baltimore, and especially East Baltimore (the community in which its medical center is located), to improve the community’s health and wellbeing.  To do so, its core programming focuses on building collaborations between Hopkins and the city around research, community projects, program planning/implementation and evaluation, and knowledge sharing and education.  It also runs a small grants program to stimulate community-university collaborations focused on advancing the health and wellbeing of area residents.
