The Children's Inn at NIH

Who We Are

The Children’s Inn at NIH is a residential “Place Like Home’’ for families with children participating in leading-edge research studies at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. The NIH Clinical Center is the nation’s premier biomedical research hospital, providing an opportunity for our residents to be partners in advancing medical discoveries and improving the health of people all over the world. While the NIH takes care of the child’s medical needs, The Inn tends to the child’s heart, soul and spirit.

What We Do

The Inn is a place where kids can be kids. After a long day of treatments and procedures, they leave behind the needles and doctors and return to The Inn. Here, they may participate in any of the more than 1,400 fun, educational, and therapeutic programs provided each year.
