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.

The promise of regenerative medicine for pediatric patients.❤️🩹🔜💖 UCF's Dr. Mehdi Razavi is working with Nemours Children's Health to develop bioabsorbable implants made of magnesium for children with broken bones.🩻 In instances where metal implants need to be surgically inserted and eventually removed to help repair bones, Dr. Razavi says their method may promote natural bone growth and eliminate the need for a potentially traumatic and painful second surgery. Through a recently awarded pilot project, the research team is working to refine the underlying science behind the materials to ensure that the implants are safe and durable.

The multidisciplinary team at Nemours Children's Hospital, Florida, including audiologists, ENT surgeons, speech-language pathologists and more, stepped in with a long-term care plan tailored just for him!

At the IFOSMA annual sports medicine conference in China, We were honored to each give our talks on sports medicine in the US. We also learned a lot about the ultra-high case volume in China -- not uncommon for a mid-career sports surgeon to do 800-1000 cases per year! Visiting Tianyige Museum in Ning-Po (寧波天一閣) & Yu Garden in Shang-Hai (上海豫園) was such a treat! Many Thanks to team - Prof. Shi-Yi Chen(陳世益教授), Drs. ZhiWen Luo (羅智文) & 張樹蓉 (Shurong Zhang).

We recently teamed up with the Orlando Fire Department and HCA’s Airport North Emergency Medicine team for a Pediatric Resuscitation Outreach Simulation! First responders put their skills to the test in a high-pressure, real-time scenario, stabilizing a pediatric patient in the field and transitioning them to HCA Florida Airport North Emergency hospital. Our Nemours Children’s Center for Interprofessional Learning and Simulation team brought manikins, top-notch equipment, and expert instructors to create an immersive training experience. This initiative empowers community providers with the skills, confidence, and teamwork strategies they need when every second counts. It’s all part of our commitment to ensuring high-quality, standardized pediatric emergency care reaches children wherever they are. Thank you to everyone who participated! 🙌
