A New House of Hope

One of our faves, DC Jazz recording artist Ski Johnson will be performing from his album “New Beginnings” for another new beginning on Tuesday evening. He’s set to provide the musical entertianment for the 21st annual Gala of the Children’s Inn at NIH.

So what’s new?? At this year’s Gala, The Children’s Inn at NIH will be introducing its longterm patient housing, “The Woodmont House,” in response to the growing challenge of treatments requiring longer lengths of stay.

Cokie Roberts and a variety of Congressional spouses host this evening of pediatric philanthropy, inviting guests to join them in their fundraising efforts for the Gala at the still fresh W Hotel. Keynote speakers include Dr. Francis Collins, Director of NIH and the Honorable Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services.
