Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University/Nemours Children's Health Wilmington Program
About This Program
Nemours has been setting the standard for pediatric orthopedic care since 1940, when Alfred I. duPont's philanthropic vision was first realized through the creation of the duPont Institute in Delaware - a place which, for 40 years, was devoted entirely to pediatric orthopedics and led by renowned physicians in the developing field. Today, we are an international leader in the field of orthopedics for children, with one of the worlds most widely respected pediatric orthopedic practices.
