At Nemours, we're dedicated to achieving higher standards in children’s health. 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 treatment to an entire integrated spectrum of research, advocacy, education and prevention.
Nemours cares for approximately a quarter of a million children annually. 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.

Extending the world-class care of the duPont Hospital for Children, the Nemours Children's Clinic provides convenient community-based physician services and collaborative partnerships with health and hospital systems across the Delaware Valley.
