First Lady Melania Trump will visit The Children’s Inn at NIH in Bethesda on Friday for Valentine’s Day.
The Inn serves as “a place like home” for children with serious illnesses and rare diseases. Families from around the world stay at The Inn to participate in clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health.
It’s the third year that Trump is visiting The Inn for Valentine’s Day. She’ll be greeted by The Inn’s CEO Jennie Lucca, Inn board vice chair Susan Penfield, and NIH Director Francis Collins.
