Dr. Larry Moss: An Advocate for Children’s Health Policy
Renowned pediatric healthcare policy leader, Dr. R. Lawrence “Larry” Moss, is the president and CEO of Nemours Children’s Health system. With bases in Wilmington, Delaware, and Orlando, Florida, Dr. Moss is a leading advocate for children’s health at the federal policy level, making significant strides in all clinical, operational, and strategic areas since joining Nemours in 2018.

He’s been instrumental in urging Congress and state legislatures to reconsider their funding strategies for children’s health initiatives.
Dr. Moss often shares a poignant story about Wendell, a child from Albuquerque, who suffered severe leg injuries in 1994 due to lack of safe play spaces. Wendell’s injuries led to surgical amputation and skin grafts, outcomes Dr. Moss believes could have been avoided with adequate, safe environments for children.
“It’s wonderful to live in a country with resources to provide complex, high-tech, critical care to kids who need it, but for many, simple acts would prevent the need,” Dr. Moss emphasizes. He advocates for a focus on providing a healthful environment for children, potentially resulting in healthy adults rather than reactively treating sick and injured children.
