Since its founding in 1940, the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children has served thousands of children from across the country and around the world. The hospital is a division of Nemours, which operates one of the nation's largest subspecialty group practices devoted to pediatric patient care, teaching, and research. Located just outside of Wilmington, Delaware, on 300 acres of park land, the hospital offers a remarkably beautiful and tranquil setting in which to heal.
Originally founded as an orthopedic facility, they are now a 180-bed hospital that offers all the specialties of pediatric medicine, surgery, and dentistry in a spacious, comfortable, and family-focused facility. Children from birth through age 17 with acute, chronic, and complex health problems benefit from the threefold mission established by our founders - excellence in patient care, education, and research.
