Nemours

We are proud to announce the expansion of our partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars as their official pediatric partner. Over the next three years, Nemours Children’s Health and the Jaguars will launch the first-ever Jaguars Kids Club, offering exclusive access and events for young fans. We’re also thrilled to have Brian Thomas Jr. and Maason Smith join us as our inaugural NFL brand ambassadors, supporting our mission to improve children's lives on and off the field. Today, the Jaguars had the honor of meeting Elena, who is being treated for leukemia at Nemours. Her mom, Natalie, shared their inspiring story – she’s been cancer free for 17 years after being treated for leukemia at Nemours as a child! This partnership is a testament to our shared mission of making a positive impact in the lives of children like Elena. For more details, visit: https://bit.ly/3ZfGXXT

Empowering our youth with lifesaving skills! Recently, students at Boone High School had a unique opportunity to learn hands-only CPR with Mayor Dyer, Dr. Peace Madueme, and the Orange County Fire Department. Essential skills like checking for vitals and performing chest compressions could one day save a life! Because 1 in 4 people will need to perform CPR, we're proud to support initiatives that ensure the health of our community goes well beyond medicine.
