Hello, Friends!
This issue of Kennedy Krieger Magazine is devoted to some of the many community programs that Kennedy Krieger Institute supports, and to those we provide to the patients, students and families we serve in our larger community.
From our Neurodiversity at Work department to our partnership with Special Olympics Maryland to our Bennett Blazers adaptive sports teams that launched the careers of four Paris Paralympians, our efforts do not stop in the hospital, clinic or school.
Children and youth, and their families, are at the very heart of all we do. We know that for children and families to pursue all that’s possible in their lives, they need to be able to get involved in their communities. So, we are always looking for new ways to help our patients and students do just that, and for local organizations to engage with them—and with Kennedy Krieger.
We hope you enjoy these stories! If you have ideas of ways that Kennedy Krieger can work with your community, employer or organization, please reach out.
Wishing you all a very safe, healthy and happy 2025.
