On Monday, Children’s National Health System held its annual Halloween Celebration so that patients and their families could enjoy the holiday’s festivities in the hospital. Attendees were treated to pumpkin decorating, a dog show by Greenbelt Dog Therapy Program, costume competitions, and a parade through some of the hospital units.
