💙💛 Reflecting on an Incredible National Advanced Practice Provider Week Across Johns Hopkins Medicine!
What an inspiring week of recognition, collaboration, and celebration!
Our Executive Director of Advanced Practice, Kathryn (Katy) Hines, PA-C, M.S., M.B.A., had the opportunity to connect with Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), hear from organizational leaders, and visit teams across Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Her biggest takeaway? Celebrating APPs goes beyond recognition. It's about highlighting their essential contributions to our teams, organizational strategy, and mission of patient care.
Here are a few highlights from across our health system!
🌟 Recognition that matters: Our Oncology team created a kudos board, giving colleagues an opportunity to recognize APPs and celebrate their impact!

🎯 Connecting practice to purpose: At Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, hospital leadership highlighted how APPs contribute to organizational priorities and strategic initiatives.
🤝 Celebrating interdisciplinary collaboration: Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center brought colleagues together through an Abridge event, demonstrating the importance of learning and innovating across disciplines.
These celebrations remind us that advanced practice is not only about the care we provide, but also about the relationships we build, the innovations we lead, and the impact we make across our health system.
