NIH Community Day is a new workplace engagement initiative that brings employees, families, and community partners together for a day of connection, celebration, and fun. It's an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, enjoy activities with colleagues, and strengthen the bonds that make the NIH more than just where we work — it's a community. This year's theme, Stronger Together: A Day of Community and Connection, emphasizes the power of unity, collaboration, and shared experiences.
