Kennedy Krieger’s roots will continue to run deep in Baltimore and Maryland with our flagship in-patient hospital, which we’re calling the Pediatric Rehabilitation Hospital of the Future. More than a building, with this new facility we’ll double the number of patients we can serve.
It will unite our specialized medical expertise and technology with compassionate, family-centered care to become a launch pad for breakthroughs that revolutionize how we heal, support and empower our patients and their families.
- In-patient capacity will increase to 70 beds, nearly doubling our ability to provide care—so we can welcome even more children in need.
- Private rooms and space per patient/family will grow from 700 to 1,000 square feet, accommodating equipment and providing family comfort.
- State-of-the-art therapy spaces adjacent to patient rooms will maximize time spent on crucial rehabilitation rather than transport.
- Sensory-programmable environments tailored to patient needs and preferences will transform the conditions within the patient’s room into a therapeutic tool.
- A rooftop therapeutic playground and respite space will prepare patients and families for life beyond our walls.
- Maryland’s first in-hospital family sanctuary, in partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities, will offer a home-like environment for inpatient families.
