One Stop for Your Child’s Care

If your child has other conditions that require the care of other Nemours doctors, you can usually schedule to see them on the same day, all under one roof. And no need to worry about going elsewhere for testing – every kind of test your child needs (including Hemoglobin A1c for diabetes patients) can be done right in the clinic.

Our endocrinologists from Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children also take their experience, expertise, and skills to our patients in Pennsylvania, offering the convenience of outpatient visits in our new Newtown Square and downtown Philadelphia clinics.

And, wherever your child gets Nemours care, NemoursOne, our fully integrated electronic health record (EHR) allows us to communicate with all of the direct and supporting members of your child’s care team – making sure everyone’s always on the same page.

Your Home Away From Home

Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children

If your child needs to stay overnight for any reason, our multicolor floors and playful animal wallpaper color the corridors of our inpatient units.

Each unit houses a play area/lounge with games, color TV, toys, books, tables, couches, highchairs, and a computer. Kids’ rooms are equipped with a bathroom, a bulletin board to display cards or artwork, and a color TV.

And at least one parent is usually welcome to stay with their child overnight. So, you won’t have to worry about what your child is going through – you can be right there.
