The Children’s Inn at the National Institutes of Health is a residential "place like home" for sick children and their families. Children come from across the country and around the world to stay together with their families in The Inn’s healing environment while receiving groundbreaking medical treatments at the NIH, the world’s leading biomedical research center. While the NIH takes care of the child’s medical needs, The Inn tends to the child’s heart, soul and spirit.

These special holiday cards were created by children who have stayed at The Children’s Inn at NIH. Orders must be received by December 5 to have in time for the holidays. Download an order form now or contact Julie Hykes at jhykes@mail.nih.gov or 301-451-2878 for more information.
