In an effort to keep our partners and supporters healthy, we have made the decision to convert our annual gala into a virtual event. The evening will contain the same impactful components of our in-person event but will now be viewed in the comfort of your own home! Monies raised will support both our Nemours heroes and our patients and their families that have been directly impacted by COVID – 19.
COVID – 19 Community Response Fund:
When the world shut down, our health care heroes stepped up. As a children’s health system, everything we do is driven by empathy and integrity, not cost. We are facing new challenges to keep our associates and families safe and healthy, like investing in COVID – 19 safety precautions and preparing our facility to care for more patients. Ensuring this quality of care and safety comes at a significant price. Your support of this event offers hope to our children and also to the amazing caregivers working tirelessly to look after them.
The Nemours Patient and Family Support Fund:
Our families, 51 percent of whom are Medicaid recipients have been disproportionately impacted by working in jobs and sectors which were deemed non-essential. Many families have appealed to this fund to assist them with a wide range of wrap-around support services ensuring their ability to maintain both access and continuity of care, as well as necessary equipment to maintain their medical care and safety at home. The Patient and Family Support Fund assists Nemours families in the following ways:
- Transportation assistance
- Lodging for onsite appointments
- Dietary education programs
- Home and Hospital meals
- Grocery store gift cards
