It takes a village to care for an ill or injured child. Everyone within the community of Nemours associates plays an important role in helping kids experience and grow in a safe and healthy manner. That care extends beyond the walls of Nemours building and beyond the time spent “on the job,” as demonstrated by the associates featured in this episode of the Nemours Champions for Children podcast. SEGMENT 1: More often than not, the staff of the Nemours Emergency Departments have front row seats to the worst days of people’s lives - days when kids come in ill or injured, and lives are changed. Opportunities to put goodness, kindness and selflessness back into the world after performing such difficult work helps bolster morale and build closeness between team members. That’s the case for these staff members from the Nemours Children’s Hospital Emergency Department in Orlando. During their non-working hours, they volunteer their time to help kids at the Children’s Home of Central Florida. It’s become a focal point for building bridges with the community, and creating deep bonds between team members. These bonds they’ve built have helped them celebrate one another during good times, and bolster and console one another when faced with difficult moments - even times of deep personal loss.      SEGMENT 2: An important aspect of treatment at Nemours is the whole child approach, which ensures that each patient is viewed  as a unique human being whose overall physical and mental wellness is paramount. From the Nemours Deptford, New Jersey outpatient locations come two stories of patients whose routine appointments led to needed treatment for unrelated issues affecting their overall  health and well-being. SEGMENT 3: On the front lines, there are the clinicians and staff, working directly with the patient to assess their needs, create and execute care plans. For all involved - especially parents, caregivers and the kids - it’s stressful and scary. Behind the scenes, there are Nemours associates like Keona Pittman from the Jacksonville home office, whose sole job it is to remove as much stress from the process as possible.
