Reimagining Health, Starting With Kids
About 85% of what affects a child’s health takes place in their home, school, and community. Nemours provides services that address the health of all children, not just those requiring medical care. This includes preventative approaches to obesity, early literacy, and mental health.
Children’s health is the most powerful lever we have to ensure the well-being of America’s future adult population. While here at the conference, we invite conversation with us on innovative strategies that build a brighter, healthier future for every child.
