Nemours First Annual Conference on Child Health Promotion December 8-9, 2005, at the Hotel du Pont in Wilmington, Delaware– only 35 minutes from Philadelphia. This unique two-day event on child health promotion and disease prevention is intended for professionals and students in public health, maternal and child health, mental health, government, health policy, advocacy, and education, especially those for whom children are at the top of the agenda.

We have confirmed plenary speakers J. Michael McGinnis, former U.S. Asst. Surgeon General, Anne Fadiman author of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down and Sarah Jones, playwright, actor and poet performing “A Right to Care”. The overall objective of the conference is to have regional and national experts present on ways in which evidence-based programs and policies, community partnerships, and youth participation are making a difference in the health and lives of children.
