People, Not Patients

Johns Hopkins Magazine
Every Friday at 11 a.m., wherever he is in the world, Panagis Galiatsatos turns on his computer and Zooms into a postpandemic version of rounds. The 39-year-old pulmonologist and critical care specialist has presented papers at major medical conferences, done TED Talks, and recently talked with 10,000 medical students in Boston. But Friday appointments with Baltimore pastors, community leaders, and his fellow physicians from Johns Hopkins are ones he never misses. This is his time to address community concerns directly, thwart medical misinformation, and connect potential patients to pathways to improve their health.
