We are pleased to share the results of the 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment for Nemours Children’s Health System in Delaware. This Assessment focuses on the needs of children in Kent, New Castle and Sussex counties in Delaware and Chester and Delaware counties in Pennsylvania and informed the development of our 2017-2019 Community Health Needs Assessment implementation plan with additional attention to the top three priorities of mental health, access to health care services and infant and child health as identified by community leaders, parents and Nemours leaders. The implementation plan is now available at the link below. We will continue to work with our community members and stakeholders during the next few months to address these needs in a collaborative manner. If your organization has an interest in helping to address the identified needs, please send a message to CommunityNeedsDE@nemours.org.
