At Kennedy Krieger, we’re not just imagining a better future—we’re building it.
Our vision for tomorrow is a spacious, integrated ecosystem where innovative care, groundbreaking research and transformative education converge to pursue every possible path to progress for the children and families we serve.
Our Goals:
A state-of-the-art, innovative care in-patient pediatric specialty hospital
Kennedy Krieger’s roots will continue to run deep in Baltimore with our flagship Innovative Care Center, what we’re calling the Hospital of the Future. More than a building, this facility will unite cutting-edge medical expertise and technology with compassionate, family-centered care to become a launchpad for breakthroughs that revolutionize how we heal, support, and empower our patients and their families.
Expanded cutting-edge research initiatives that bring the bench to the bedside
Imagine groundbreaking discoveries seamlessly interwoven with patient care to transform lives daily. For nearly 90 years, Kennedy Krieger has led efforts to prevent and treat disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal system. Now, we’re expanding our research capabilities with new endowed chairs to dissolve barriers between discovery and treatment.
A specialized education research and training center
In our next chapter, we will amplify our pursuit of infinite possibilities beyond our walls by creating the National Center for Education Research. This center will be the first of its kind in the nation, revolutionizing how children in special education are educated and advancing precision education practices to benefit all students.
Integrating these initiatives creates an extraordinary ecosystem of innovation where every possible avenue for a child’s progress is pursued with determination and purpose—with impacts to families next door, and across the country and around the globe.
