Racism: Taking Action

Medically reviewed by: Meghan T. Walls, PsyD

At Nemours, our mission is to improve the health of all children. We're also committed to creating a more humane society.

Racism leads to health disparities, illness, and death. As a health care organization, we commit to work on preventing the spread of racism to promote the health and well-being of all.

We all, collectively, must do our part to address the systemic biases in our communities. For parents, that means talking to kids about racism and privilege and creating a culture that respects all people.

Here are some resources to help you and your family learn more and take action:
