Nemours Children’s Clinic joins NEFLIN

I am very pleased to announce that Nemours Children’s Clinic in Jacksonville has recently been accepted as a member of NEFLIN. I hope you will make Sylvia Kyle, the librarian at Nemours, feel welcome at various NEFLIN events.

The Nemours Foundation was established by Alfred I. DuPont, the most generous benefactor on behalf of children’s health and health care in modern history. He left behind an estate valued at $40 million and a last will and testament with specific instructions for the creation of a charitable foundation primarily devoted to providing health care services to children. Through his Will, he established the foundation named for the beloved homeland of the DuPont family in France—Nemours. More history of the Nemours Clinic can be found here.

Nemours is also home to Kid’s Health, a widely used kid’s site for consumer health information. Check it out!
