Who We Are

Nemours Children’s Health is committed to transforming the health of children by going beyond medicine to improve the health of the world in which every child lives. We founded KidsHealth.org in 1995.

What We Do

We aim to give families the tools and confidence to make the best health choices.

Here’s what you’ll find on Nemours KidsHealth.org:

  • Doctor-reviewed advice on hundreds of physical, emotional, and behavioral topics — from before birth through the teen years.
  • Separate sections for parentskids, and teens, each created with your questions in mind.
  • Easy-to-follow articles, slideshows, videos, and health tools designed to help families learn, grow, and be their best.
  • Free lesson plans and programs for teachers and early childhood educators.

Help Us Spread the Message of Good Health for All Kids

We partner with other groups that share our mission to help kids grow up healthy. Contact our Partnership Group to learn more.

We hope you find something on the KidsHealth website that inspires you to stay healthy and happy. Please share our content with your friends and family.

Have a local resource that you want to add to our directory? 

Our list of local resources is pivotal to fostering a strong network for foster kids in the Eastern Panhandle. From helping teens find affordable prom dresses to housing and mental health services – if you know of a resource you think would help foster kids thrive, we welcome it!
