The term "no margin, no mission" comes from Sister Irene Kraus, a 20th century healthcare leader. Sister Irene keenly understood the importance of fiscal responsibility within healthcare. Her ethos was that a fiscally sound healthcare system has the ability to provide not only the standard day-to-day health services, but has additional capacity to support other mission-driven priorities, such as research. For its part, Nemours conducts research in a number of clinical areas: cystic fibrosis, pulmonary and sleep medicine, neuromuscular disease, oncology, surgery, just to name a few, with countless peer-reviewed journal publications and poster presentations across the world, improving the health and extending the lifespan of kids everywhere. It’s research made possible - in some way or another -  by every single Nemours associate. SEGMENT 1: Dr. Floyd Livingston is the Division Chief for Pediatric Pulmonary and Sleep medicine at Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando. He is also co-medical director for Nemours Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Center, where he leads a team that not only treats kids with CF, but researches ways to improve the treatment of the disease. He explains the disease itself, and the tremendous strides that have been made in extending the lifespan of CF patients - in no small part due to research done here at Nemours.  SEGMENT 2:  Working alongside Dr. Livingston in CF, pulmonary, sleep medicine and asthma research efforts here at Nemours are clinical research coordinators Amanda Darling and Mariella Dixon. They work directly with patients and their families, providing information, answering questions, and scheduling visits, which could involve blood work, physical exams, CAT Scans, MRIs, X-Rays or the administration of medications, and collecting data to examine the efficacy of a therapy. It’s precise work that can dramatically improve the lives of children for generations to come. In fact, they have seen first-hand the way that their research has made a difference. SEGMENT 3:  Matthew Leonard is a facilities manager. He and his team maintain 45 Nemours sites in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It’s a job that requires the coordination of staff and contractors so as to keep the Nemours physical plants not just up and running - but in tiptop shape as befitting a high quality healthcare provider like Nemours. From day care centers to urgent care facilities to the AI Dupont Hospital for Children itself, it’s demanding work for Matthew and his team - yet they find ways to make it happen without missing a beat.
