Episode description
Building a strong structure or system of any kind requires a solid foundation. That is equally true for building a structure, or healthcare system like Nemours, where the foundation comes directly from the Dupont family. Featuring Nemours Associates Riva Brown, Dr. Alfred Atanda, and Janet Krossman.
SEGMENT 1: Nemours Associate Riva Brown is an interpreter and tour guide at the Nemours Estate and Gardens in Wilmington. She helps us connect the Nemours of yesterday - and the Dupont family - with the Nemours Children’s Health System as we know it today.
SEGMENT 2: Children often explore career possibilities through play: dressing up as doctors, pretending to be truck drivers, or singing into a hairbrush with the idea that they'll be the next Beyonce. Dr. Alfred Atanda thought his career would be in construction - and in many ways, it is. Only he doesn’t build buildings. As an orthopedic surgeon at the A. I. Dupont Hospital or Children, he helps build, or rebuild, people.
SEGMENT 3: Janet Krossman is a patient liaison with the Emergency Department at the Nemours Children's Hospital in Orlando. She is the patient’s voice within the vast Nemours system. It’s a role that takes a great deal of patience, compassion and diplomacy. It’s a job that Janet sees as intricate to the overall Nemours mission.
