Nemours President and CEO, Dr. David Bailey, talks about the history of Nemours beginning with a transformational gift from philanthropist, Alfred I. duPont.
Back in 1940, when the Alfred I. duPont Institute was an orthopedic hospital, children were patients in the hospital for days, weeks, or even months at a time. We had to attend not only to their medical needs, but to their educational needs and their needs to be children. We had to create an environment where children could be children.
That became woven into our DNA, that idea of getting it right for the family and creating an environment where family feels safe, secure and has peace of mind.
Today, Nemours supports a number of renowned children's health facilities, including the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware; Nemours Children's Clinic with specialty practice locations in the Delaware Valley and North and Central Florida; and primary care offices in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Nemours is currently developing a new children's health campus in Orlando, Florida, including the Nemours Children's Hospital.
