Pathology

The specialty of pathology deals with the nature and cause of disease as expressed by changes in cellular or tissue structure and function caused by the disease process. At Nemours, we focus on the special challenges of laboratory diagnosis and monitoring of disease in children. Our approach is unique in that we are distinguished from general hospital and commercial laboratories in several ways.

Nemours pathologists use an integrated medical record that unifies patient care across specialties and locations, prompting pathologists to consider best practices gained from Nemours experience and academic literature. We provide excellent care that places the patient and family at the center, and our commitment to communication is central to the process. We strive to create a uniquely satisfying experience bringing peace of mind to patients and families.
