To reflect the vision and new strategic direction of Nemours Children’s Health System, we are changing our name to Nemours Children’s Health as part of the launch of our new brand, effective August.  While dropping “System” from our name may seem inconsequential, its symbolism is monumental.  

Nemours intends to re-write the definition of children’s health, recognizing that nearly eighty percent of health is created outside a doctor’s office.  Nemours will play a profound role in health care transformation by advocating for a pay-for-health model, and helping all children in the communities we serve whether or not they ever enter our doors.  With our partners alongside us, we can fundamentally change how America cares for kids.

Nemours remains unwavering in its clinical excellence and unique approach to patient care.   Our new brand mark, “The Loop of Care,” depicts the special relationship between Nemours and our families, underscoring our infinite quest for innovation.

While The Nemours Foundation remains the official name of our organization, the following changes will be reflected in the names of our hospitals, and specialty, primary, and urgent care locations to more closely connect the Nemours name to the breadth of communities we serve.  Nemours flagship hospital in Delaware will be renamed Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware.  Our hospital in Orlando will be named Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida. To honor Alfred I. duPont as Nemours’ benefactor and pay homage to his commitment to Delawareans, Nemours has established the Alfred I. duPont Campus which is home to the hospital, Nemours Mansion and Gardens, and the Carillon Tower. 

I look forward to an opportunity for my colleagues and I to share Nemours’ vision with you.  Together we can improve the world in which every child lives.
