It is a division of Nemours, a nonprofit organization dedicated to children's health and health care that provides hospital and clinic-based specialty care, primary care, prevention and health information services, as well as research and medical education programs to improve the lives of children and families throughout the Delaware Valley and Florida. NHPS was created to expand Nemours' reach beyond clinical care to consider the health of the whole child within his or her family and community.

We serve as an "integrator" that works intentionally and systematically across sectors to improve the health and well-being of children. Lessons Learned from Obesity Prevention Initiatives • Focus on child well-being outcomes, including but not limited to, increasing the percentage of Delaware children, birth through age 17, in a healthy weight range, for a specific population and inter vene early to focus on primary prevention; • Coordinate programs and connect services so that program silos are eliminated and children are better served; • Be opportunistic in determining which policy, systems, and envi ronment changes to drive at which time, balancing a portfolio of reactive and proactive engagements and shorter- and longer-term implementation horizons; • Develop a shared measurement system across silos to ensure joint accountability for improving child and family outcomes related to obesity prevention; • Consider sustainability at the front end and throughout the life of the project; • Reach children where they live, learn, and play; • Create policy and systems change/development to impact popula tions with sustainable change -- essential elements of a comprehen sive children's system in addition to practice changes; • Be intentional about harnessing and leveraging lessons learned to inform spread, scale, and sustainability; and • Identify the champion integrators and stakeholders for obesity prevention and support them to get state and local buy-in and to spread and sustain the work.

Adaptation can lead to spread outside of the initial area of implementation as well as deeper implementation in the original geographic area. • Determine the readiness of partners and communities to embrace the policy, systems, and environmental changes that are being rec ommended and be flexible to move through the change process at the pace that the partners or communities are comfortable with, focusing on the policy and practice changes in a targeted fashion to take advantage of the knowledge gathered.
