Healthcare
MISSION STATEMENTThe Affinity Group and Communities team has started working with a small group of Hopkins alumni who work in Healthcare. We would like to continue to build a JHU Health Care Affinity Group.
If you or someone you know in the greater Hopkins community, are interested in participating in some way, have ideas to share, or would like more information about this or other groups please send a note, affinity@jhu.edu. We'd be thrilled to hear from you!
