Nemours

About

What started in 1936 as a vision of Alfred I. duPont to alleviate childhood suffering has blossomed into one of the largest integrated pediatric health systems in the country. At Nemours Children's Health, we strive not only to treat but to prevent childhood diseases, ensuring children lead healthy lives into adulthood. Our comprehensive approach includes not just medical care, but also research, education, and advocacy, reflecting our commitment to the whole child. Over the decades, Nemours has expanded significantly, beginning with the opening of our first hospital in Wilmington, Delaware, and now boasting multiple locations across Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida, including two freestanding children's hospitals. Our dedication to medical excellence is recognized nationally, with our facilities consistently ranking among the best by U.S. News & World Report. In addition, we reach beyond our hospital walls, actively partnering with communities to promote health and well-being for all children, particularly those facing systemic challenges. We believe that achieving good health requires addressing deeper social determinants beyond just clinical care, which is why we advocate for educational resources, nutritious food, and equitable access to healthcare services.
