About the company
Kennedy Krieger Institute is a non-profit affiliated with Johns Hopkins that supports children and young adults with developmental disabilities and disorders of the brain, spinal cord, or musculoskeletal system through patient care, education, research, and professional training. It uses an interdisciplinary treatment approach where multiple specialists work together to create individualized plans, offering neurobehavioral, rehabilitation, and pediatric feeding disorders inpatient units as well as more than 55 outpatient clinics and several home, community, and school programs. It differs from many providers by pairing medical care with education and community services under one umbrella, strengthened by its Johns Hopkins link and coordinated, team-based care across inpatient, outpatient, and school settings. The goal is to improve quality of life for these individuals through comprehensive, coordinated care, education, research, and training.
