Nemours is proud to announce that Dr. Kevin Neal, pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Nemours Children’s Clinic, Jacksonville, was recently named one of Jacksonville Business Journal’s 2009 Physician Health Care Heroes.  In Orlando, Dr. Lloyd Werk, chief of the division of consultative pediatrics at Nemours Children’s Clinic, Orlando, was named one of Orlando Business Journal’s 2009 Physician Health Care Heroes.

Dr. Neal has a passion for working with children and goes the extra mile to ensure each of his patients understands and is comfortable with any procedure they are about to undergo.  Dr. Neal takes time to make mission trips to Tatoxcac, Mexico, and as part of the Foundation For Children, he and a group of other Nemours physicians travel each year to treat children at a children’s hospital in the Ukraine.

Dr. Werk is co-director of Nemours’ Healthy Choices Clinic, a program that combats obesity in children.  This year, Dr. Werk spearheaded a partnership between Nemours and Orange County Parks and Recreation called Growing Healthy Kids that aims to help encourage healthy eating habits and exercise among children and their families.

These physicians represent the high quality of care provided to children at Nemours.  To read more about these doctors, visit the links below.
