Nemours Children's Health

Nemours Children's Health 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 operates two freestanding children's hospitals along with outpatient locations in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Georgia and Florida, offering pediatric primary, urgent, specialty and hospital care. Nemours also offers walk-in urgent care for nonemergency needs and on-demand online video visits for minor illness or injury.

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. The organization started as an orthopedic hospital in Wilmington, Delaware. 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' research work involves more than 300 pediatric medical researchers, 11 research centers and over 240 clinical trials across the United States. Nemours is one of eight institutions contributing to PEDSnet, a pediatric research database, and its National Office of Policy & Prevention works on federal pediatric health policy. The company also publishes KidsHealth.org, a children's health information website. 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.
