On Oct. 31, 2017, pediatric patients, joined by their siblings and families, traded in hospital gowns for Halloween costumes and marched through the NIH Clinical Center on a mission to fill their bags with candy. An army general, scarecrow, batgirl and even a very tiny Maleficent left the medical exams and the bedside behind to take part in the Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating organized by the Clinical Center Rehabilitation Medicine Department, and supported by staff from The Childrens' Inn at NIH.
