Kennedy Krieger Institute nurses, nursing technicians and unit clerks play a key role in patient care, but we also are involved in our community. Check out some of our recent activities that support our patients and families.

Festival of the Trees

Unit Clerks, Nursing Technicians, RNS, Care Managers, Nurse Educators, and Nursing Leadership took to the stage at Festival of the Trees to sing holiday songs for the thousands of people who come to see the creatively decorated trees, wreaths and gingerbread houses. Funds raised from this holiday event are used for the children with disabilities and their families who are served by Kennedy Krieger.
