The divine healer

Inside Johns Hopkins' lobby, the old lobby that is, there is a statue of Christ, the divine healer. The statue was a gift from a hospital trustee back in the hospital's early days, so it has always had a presence at the hospital. It is at least 10 feet tall, so presence might be an understatement. Though Hopkins is not specifically a religious healthcare institution, sprituality has been a part of the culture since the beginning.

At the base of the statue the marble says, "Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden I will give you rest."
