Description

Whenever there are kids around, adventure is sure to follow. At Nemours, adventure comes in all shapes and sizes, but always with the goal of providing top-notch health care for kids, even if it means creating a safari adventure to divert their attention from the anxiety they often experience when going to the doctor.  SEGMENT 1: Preventing the spread of infection within the hospital is the focus for Meg Gilman, Infection Prevention and Control Manager at the A.I. Dupont Hospital for Children in Wilmington. But her involvement and experience with Nemours is so much deeper due to the personal connection she and her family made with Nemours clinicians 3-and-a-half years ago.  SEGMENT 2: Nemours’ pediatric allergists and immunologists are trained and experienced in diagnosing and treating asthma and allergies in children - anything from food allergies to hay fever. They also see kids with issues of the immune system. The goal? To help kids feel better and give parents the tools to manage their child’s condition at home. Getting poked and literally needled is an unfortunate yet necessary part of the process. Understandably, not a part of the process kids enjoy - by any stretch of the imagination.  Yet efforts are underway in the Jacksonville Allergy Clinic to make the experience a bit less daunting - and it starts with a safari map.  SEGMENT 3: Tara Spruill is a nurse manager based in Jacksonville working with a team of teams of nearly 40 people. Yet she looks at her role as being in service to them so that they can do what they do best: taking care of kids.
