Nemours Children's Hospital - Opening 2012 - Orlando, Florida

As a leading children's health system, Nemours cares for more than 250,000 children a year in Florida, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania — treating every child as if they were our own.

Today, Nemours is building the Nemours Children's Hospital, one of the only free-standing pediatric hospitals being built in the country. This state-of-the-art facility represents Nemours' belief in how care should be given to children in the 21st century.

Under construction now in Orlando, Florida and due to open in 2012, the Nemours Children's Hospital promises to be a place where children can be children, where parents can be partners in the care of their child, and where Nemours can serve the needs of the whole child and their families.

Families helped plan the hospital by sharing their experiences and needs. Nurses and doctors suggested how the rooms might best accommodate the children they care for—and support the care given. Designed as a hospital within a garden, every waiting room in the new facility opens to panoramic views of nature. A unique clinic/hospital layout also means that children can be seen by all Nemours specialists in one place, and if needed, admitted to the hospital.

Nemours Children's Hospital is a sacred trust and a promise — that Nemours will continue to set the very highest standards in caring for the health of children. We promise to be an advocate for children, to research cures, to train the next generation of pediatric doctors, and to work every day to promote literacy, education, and wellness, so that kids can grow up healthy.
