As hurricane season continues to ravage near and distant lands, we are thankful for the many Johns Hopkins Medicine alumni, colleagues and friends who have weathered the storm. Our thoughts are with those who must now turn their attention to the effects - homes that were damaged, family members and pets who were separated, or the disruption of power outages and school closings. Our thoughts are also with all of our Johns Hopkins Medicine colleagues supporting loved ones who are recovering from the devastation of hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and fires across the world.
