About Nemours Foundation

Improving Children’s Health for Good

Nemours Children’s is one of the largest integrated pediatric health systems in the country. Everything we do—our medical care, research, education, and prevention and advocacy efforts—is focused on kids.

Our goal is to help children, everywhere, grow into healthy adults. To do this, we think of health as more than just medicine. Good health involves education, food, housing, family stability, emotional well-being, equity, justice and more. That’s why we go outside of our walls to reach kids where they live, learn and play. We’re here, beyond medicine.

Our Impact

We’re the only children’s health system in the country with two freestanding children’s hospitals. Our resources are reserved just for kids.

We offer care that’s recognized for excellence. Our care is ranked among the best in nation, year after year, for the highest in quality and safety by the U.S. News and World Report.

We enrich our community in many ways. As a not-for-profit health system, we contribute more than $220 million annually to meet community health needs.

We are actively researching the next innovations in care. We’re ranked 14th for National Institutes of Health research funding, out of 150 freestanding children’s hospitals in the United States.

We are a national leader in helping to improve care for all children. Ours is one of eight institutions in the nation contributing to PEDSnet, a large database that improves pediatric research and evidence-based care.

We offer children’s health information that’s second to none. KidsHealth.org is the world’s most-visited website devoted to children’s health.
