We are creating a community-wide plan to strengthen digital access in Hopkins. Here's what we're doing first.
Gathering community input to understand the current digital experiences of Hopkins community members
Identifying existing resources to build a complete picture of the current digital landscape
Collaborating with the community to generate ideas for Hopkins-specific digital access solutions
This initiative arises from today's reality
Technology is an everyday essential—without it, people face barriers to jobs, services, education, and connection with friends, family, and the community.
We're working toward a different future.
A future where digital access is a bridge to opportunity, connection, and community participation for everyone!

"My doctor wants me to use a patient portal, but I don't understand how to find my test results or message them."
"I need to pay my rent online now, but I'm not comfortable using the portal."
"I worry about clicking the wrong thing and getting scammed."
"Tickets for my niece's volleyball game are only available online, but it is so complicated that I will just stay home."
"I can't read the small text on government websites or navigate all the menus."
