Today Susan Sharer speaks with Jennie Lucca, CEO, The Children’s Inn at NIH and Todd Pantezzi, Children’s Inn at NIH Evening for Hope Gala Committee Chair about this year’s event. They discuss the unique public-private partnership with NIH, what’s new for this year’s Gala, and the Inn’s strategic plan, #INN2025, which has the following goals for the next few years:
- To work with researchers at the NIH to determine barriers to family and young adult participation in clinical research studies. And to work with the NIH and consultants to design steps to help break down those barriers.
- To interview our families to learn how The Inn can better serve them and implement those suggestions.
- To take the best in hospitality design and incorporate technology to create an innovative, state-of-the-art living environment at The Inn.
