At Nemours, we’re dedicated to achieving higher standards in children’s health. And we begin by caring for every child as if they were our own. For more than 70 years, this has been the Nemours Way.
Nemours began with the vision of Alfred I. duPont to improve the lives of children. Today, our team of 4,200 dedicated Associates, including more than 420 pediatric physicians, has cared for millions of kids. But it’s the special way we care that’s made Nemours a trusted choice for families across the country.
We’re more than a children’s hospital. As one of the nation’s leading pediatric health care systems, Nemours delivers care differently. We’ve made a promise to do whatever it takes to prevent and treat even the most disabling childhood conditions. It’s a promise that extends beyond our nationally recognized clinical care to an entire integrated spectrum of research, advocacy, education and prevention services for all families in the communities we serve.
