For Policy Makers
Helping Kids Reach Their Full Potential
When kids are healthy, emotionally and physically fit, they’re better able to face life’s challenges, make good choices, develop positive self-esteem, and build strong relationships. We offer information and resources for families, educators, health professionals, researchers, and policy makers. Here are tools to help:
Partners for Healthy Living
At Nemours, we are families’ partners in helping children grow up healthy and happy. We help shape government policy and take part in community programs that encourage the health of children. We’ve even collected a wealth of articles and resources to help kids to grow up healthy.
Our Preventive Services
Nemours Health & Prevention Services (NHPS) and the Nemours Florida Prevention Initiative work with people who influence the well-being of children (families, policy makers, government officials, community leaders, educators, and businesses) to help kids be their healthiest.
Office of Child Health Policy and Advocacy
Based in Washington, D.C., the Nemours Office of Child Health Policy and Advocacy works to support and promote national health policies that improve the health of all children.
