Dear Friend,
It is with great joy and deep gratitude that I invite you to join us in celebrating some remarkable milestones within the Kennedy Krieger family.
In this issue of Kennedy Krieger Magazine, we spotlight several programs marking significant anniversaries, ranging from 15 to 35 years of transformative service.
Each has positively impacted the lives of thousands of patients, students and families, providing not only care and education but also hope and opportunity.
Whether it's the Bennett Blazers empowering young athletes through adaptive sports, our high school meeting students’ unique educational needs, the F.M. Kirby Research Center exploring the mysteries of the brain or our International Center for Spinal Cord Injury incorporating the latest research and technology into its treatment of patients with acute and chronic spinal cord injuries or disease, each program reflects the unwavering spirit and mission of Kennedy Krieger Institute.
For nearly 90 years, Kennedy Krieger has been a place where compassion meets innovation, and every milestone represents countless stories of courage, progress and possibility. As we honor these enduring legacies, we also look forward to a future filled with even greater impact. Thank you for being an important part of these journeys.
Warmly,
Bradley L. Schlaggar, MD, PhD
President and Chief Executive Officer
