EnglishWhat Is Nemours Children's Health?
Updated
Nemours Children's Health is a pediatric health system focused on children's health care in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. If you are looking for a pediatric provider in those states, it offers specialty care, primary care, urgent care, and video visits, along with research and clinical trials. If you are outside that footprint, its main value to you is likely its public health information rather than in-person care.
What Nemours Children's Health Is
Nemours describes itself as a pediatric health system "committed to children's health care" in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Its care model spans everyday needs through complex conditions, and it also runs research and clinical trials aimed at preventing and reversing childhood diseases.
The organization also states it partners with medical schools and other organizations, and its leadership publishes white papers, blog articles, news articles, and videos on transforming children's health.
Services and Specialties
Nemours organizes its offerings into several access points:
- Specialty care — Nemours states it offers "all the medical specialties and related services most kids would ever need." Featured specialties and services on its site include orthopedics, cancer, cardiology, diabetes, and neurology.
- Primary care — Neighborhood pediatric primary care, with evening and Saturday hours in some areas.
- Urgent care — Walk-in care for nonemergency pediatric needs, available 365 days a year, no appointment required.
- Urgent care video visits — On-demand online pediatric care for minor illness or injury.
- Advanced Care at Home — Described as the nation's first at-home pediatric care program, giving parents access to 24/7 virtual support and personalized care.
You can browse services and conditions through the site's search, which also surfaces common searches and trending pediatric topics such as measles, vaccinations, and maternal-fetal health.
Locations and Coverage
The system's stated service area is Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Its site features a location finder alongside a doctor finder, so the practical first step for care is to confirm whether a specific specialty or clinic exists near you.
One example of expansion: the Institute for Maternal Fetal Health, led by Julie S. Moldenhauer, MD, PMH-C, is planned to open its first location in Delaware in 2026.
Managing Care: Nemours Children's MyChart
The Nemours app is now called Nemours Children's MyChart. It is the patient portal for logging in or signing up, and the site provides a Quick Start Guide for new users. This is where you would go for account-based tasks such as messaging and managing your child's care online.
Billing is handled separately through Online Bill Pay.
Research and Recognition
Nemours states it leads pediatric research and clinical trials, with the goal of improving health care delivery and keeping children safe and healthy. It also notes that Nemours Children's Health, Delaware Valley has applied to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for Magnet® designation, and the site provides a link for public feedback to ANCC about that application. An application is not the same as an awarded designation, so treat this as a pending status.
How to Get Started

Who This Is For
Nemours is a reasonable starting point if you live in or near Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Florida and need pediatric care, particularly specialty care or after-hours options. If you are elsewhere, its medically reviewed KidsHealth library and blog content remain useful for general pediatric questions, but in-person care would require a different system.
