I just got home from the most inspiring program sponsored by the Reston Museum. We met Reston native Nate Mook and learned about his journey and efforts in Ukraine with World Central Kitchen. What an amazing individual, truly inspiring. Also humbling to see all the despair and destruction. WCK is making a real impact in Ukraine and around the world.

Reston Hospital Center is proud to share that we are the distribution partner for an early reading initiative called Reston Baby. Each new family will receive a complimentary Reston Baby book after delivering at Reston. The beautiful Robinson family received our first edition. This effort came to life through the vision of project founder Dr. Elizabeth English, a former principal of Sunrise Valley Elementary School in Reston, and a partnership with many of Reston's leading community organizations including the Reston Community Center, Reston Town Center Association, Reston Association, Reston Museum, Friends of Reston, and Friends of the Reston Regional Library.
