A Shared Commitment to Improving Care for Kids

KidWell Network is a physician-led, clinically integrated network of providers and health care systems dedicated exclusively to kids. It was rebranded to KidWell Network (formerly the Delaware Valley Children’s Network) to more strongly convey our commitment to improving children’s care through:

  • Wellness and prevention
  • Coordination of services
  • Data-driven decision making

Our goal is to collaborate across Delaware — and beyond — to develop and implement evidence-based, data-driven clinical initiatives that improve outcomes, increase efficiency and access, and reduce costs.

What It Means 

Together, we will continue to support and prepare for the future of value-based health care — providing high-quality care to kids of all ages and an enhanced experience for patients, their families and providers.
