The Johns Hopkins Medicine Technology Innovation Center is offering a new messaging system for Johns Hopkins Medicine employees called CORUS, a web-based chat tool on my.johnshopkins.edu that runs parallel to the PING system. All PING users will be redirected to CORUS when accessing PING. PING will continue to be available to users for the next four to six weeks, and all messaging will be delivered based on current PING settings.
