About NHPS
Nemours Health and Prevention Services (NHPS), a non-profit organization based in Newark, Delaware, works with families and community partners to help children grow up healthy. Its goal is to effect long-term changes in policies and practices that promote child health and to leverage community strengths and resources to have the greatest impact on the most children.
NHPS sees its role as one of catalyst, “planting the seeds for better health” by working with community partners to reach children in a variety of settings. One of its initial areas of emphasis is childhood obesity prevention through promotion of healthy lifestyles, the centerpiece of which is the 5-2-1-Almost None campaign.
NHPS is a division of Nemours, one of the nation's largest pediatric health systems, operating the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children and outpatient facilities throughout the Delaware Valley and northern and central Florida. NHPS expands Nemours’ reach beyond clinical care to consider the health of the whole child within his or her family and community.
