Children’s National Hospital has received a $5 million gift from the Boeing Company to help drive lifesaving pediatric discoveries at the new Children’s National Research & Innovation Campus being developed on the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C.
This one of a kind pediatric hub will bring together public and private partners for unprecedented collaborations. The goal is to accelerate the translation of breakthroughs into new treatments and technologies to benefit children everywhere.
Children’s National Research & Innovation Campus partners currently includes JLABS, Virginia Tech, NIH, FDA, Biomedical Advanced Research and Development authority (BARDA), Cerner, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, National Organization of Rare Diseases (NORD), and local governments.
Children’s National will name the main auditorium in recognition of Boeing’s generosity. The 3,200 square foot Boeing Auditorium will be the focal point of the state-of-the-art conference center. Renowned experts will convene with scientists, medical leaders, and diplomats worldwide to develop collaborations that will spur progress and disseminate findings.
