Clinical Center News

1NW staff members in costume

On Oct. 31, 2017, pediatric patients, joined by their siblings and families, traded in hospital gowns for Halloween costumes and marched through the NIH Clinical Center on a mission to fill their bags with candy. An army general, scarecrow, batgirl and even a very tiny Maleficent left the medical exams and the bedside behind to take part in the Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating organized by the Clinical Center Rehabilitation Medicine Department, and supported by staff from The Childrens' Inn at NIH.
