About us

Nemours is committed to improving the health of children. As a non-profit children’s health organization, we consider the health of every child to be a sacred trust. Through family-centered care in our children’s hospitals and clinics in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida, as well as world-changing research, education and advocacy, Nemours fulfills the promise of a healthier tomorrow for all children — even those who may never enter our doors. Nemours began more than 80 years ago with the vision of Alfred I. duPont to improve the lives of children and to do whatever it takes to prevent and treat even the most disabling childhood conditions. Today, through our children’s hospitals and health system, we directly care for 250,000 children annually in Delaware Valley and Florida, including families who travel from across the country and world to see our specialists — treating every child as we would our own. We also reach beyond the walls of our hospitals and clinics to be a voice for children on a national and international level, and to lead the way in prevention, intervention, education, and research. Nemours is growing to better serve the children and families in our care. We have 1.1 million square feet of space currently devoted to providing children’s healthcare or under construction, all designed with significant input and advice from our patients and families.

    At 12 years old, during Kelly’s routine physical, doctors expressed concern after noting a curvature of the spine. She was referred to Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware, where she was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis with a spinal curve of 72 degrees. Middle school was challenging, as she balanced physical therapy and multiple visits to Nemours to explore therapeutic options. After months of unsuccessful physical therapy, her doctors determined surgery would provide the best prognosis. Kelly was admitted to Nemours Children’s for one month. She was placed in traction for the week prior to surgery to correct the curvature as much as possible. This was followed by placement of a post-surgical body cast and 3 more weeks of inpatient recovery. She remained in the full body cast with head and neck support for 6 months followed by a new body cast without neck support for an additional 4 months. During this time, she was home schooled for 9th grade due to her inability to attend school. "Inspired by the compassionate care at Nemours, I chose a career in nursing. Eventually, I underwent a Spinal Fusion from T1 to T12 performed by Dr. Dean MacEwen, Medical Director. Looking back, my advice to fellow travelers is simple: Treatment has advanced since 1972 as Nemours treatment options evolved through using and evidence-based practice approach. It is the best place to receive orthopedic care! 😊" #NemoursChildrens #Scoliosis #AssociateHighlight

    By integrating emotional health assessments into routine pediatric care, The Roadmap Project ensures that emotional well-being is prioritized alongside physical health. On Episode 86 of the Well Beyond Medicine Podcast, we sat down with Erica Sood, PhD, pediatric psychologist from Nemours Children's Health, pediatric psychologist Jill Plevinsky, PhD, from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and pediatrician Carole Lannon, MD, MPH from Cincinnati Children's to discuss this initiative. https://bit.ly/45QpuXf The project aims to enhance emotional well-being among children with chronic conditions by raising awareness, validating stress during routine care, and building confidence among clinical teams to address these needs. #PediatricHealth #PediatricCare #EmotionalHealth
