“My son has been part of a study at NIH for several years. We stay at the Children's Inn on our visits, and use the gate closest to the Inn. The guard at the gate is ALWAYS happy to see us. My son loves going through that gate to see him, and he asked me not to get the passes that allow us to just drive through. The guard takes the time to talk to my son, and we really feel like he is an extension of our family."

Every single one of the valet parking attendants has been fantastic to me while I battle this disease. They always have a smile on their face and are polite, courteous, thoughtful caring, and trustworthy.
