Mission

The mission of the Delaware Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics is to help our members and community promote health care services that will provide optimal physical, mental and social health and well being for all infants, children, adolescents and young adults.

Our Vision

The American Academy of Pediatrics exists to prepare its members with the tools, skills, and knowledge to be the best qualified health professionals:

1) to advocate for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults and provide for their care;
2) to collaborate with others to assure child health; and
3) to ensure that decision making affecting the health and well-being of children and their families is based upon the needs of those children, their families and the community.

The American Academy of Pediatrics also exists to support members' professional satisfaction and personal growth. By providing these services, the American Academy of Pediatrics will be the most valuable professional organization to which those eligible for membership can belong.
