FLOTUS pool #1: Arrive at Children's National Hospital

Good morning from Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC where First Lady Melania Trump has just arrived to visit with the hospital's young patients. I’ll be your FLOTUS pooler this morning.

Mrs. Trump will participate in Fourth of July Arts and Crafts with Children’s National Medical Center patients in the hospital’s Garden Room.

She will also unveil a gift to the Bunny Mellon Healing Garden, a hybrid tea rose bush dubbed “Eternal Flame,” decorate the garden, which she helped dedicate in 2017, and visit with the children.

More info on the garden per the hospital's website: “Named after late philanthropist and horticulturalist Rachel “Bunny” Lambert Mellon, our Healing Garden is dedicated to the First Ladies of the United States in honor of their longstanding support to Children’s National and the Washington, D.C., community. This beautiful outdoor area gives families dealing with health challenges a peaceful space to connect with nature and renew their spirits.”

Honorary chairs of the garden: Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan, Rosalynn Carter.

Outside the entrance to the garden, press viewed photos on the walls of first ladies visiting with child patients, including one of First Lady Melania Trump in 2017 smiling as she speaks with a child who appears to be a cancer patient, as well as former First Lady Jill Biden visiting with a toddler at Children's National in Christmas 2024.

More to come!
