from the wild to the Halls of Children’s National HOSPITAL & CLINICS
Washington, D.C. — Children’s National Hospital (CNH) is ranked one of the nation’s top ten pediatric hospitals. Nature's Best Photography (NBP) is now exhibiting fine art prints in the CNH hospital and clinics. Award-winning photographs immerse patients, their families, visitors, and dedicated staff alike in nature’s calming beauty.
From Steve Freligh, NBP Awards Director:
“Our vision for exhibitions at Children’s National is to deliver uplifting visual storytelling to those who may benefit from it the most. These scenes and their stories instantly transport viewers from the stress of the hospital environment into the wonders of nature, inviting imagination and curiosity to become a highlight of their day.”
NBP Awards competitions have engaged the public since 1995 through publications, online galleries, exhibitions and events at the Smithsonian and other prestigious forums around the globe. We are proud to share the Nature's Best mission with a new audience in a platform that inspires and supports wellness and health, combining the art of photography with natural history education.
From Martha Parra, Children's National Vice President of Clinical Support Services:
“The Nature’s Best Photography Awards display is such a beautiful way to help our patients and families connect with nature. These stunning images convey an important sense of balance, peace, and joy.”
