I hope you and your family are enjoying the fall weather and all the activities that come with it. Everything we do at Children's National is focused on letting kids and families live healthy lives, which includes special times like Halloween.
Since Children's National was founded in 1870, we have depended on the support of the community to develop innovative treatments and provide every child with the same level of expert care. This is the first quarterly update on the ways that donors and supporters improve the lives of children and families. Thank you for caring about children.
