Dr. Vanessa A. Olbrecht
Overview
I am the chair of the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware and a professor of Anesthesiology and Pediatrics. I serve on the Board of Directors for the Society for Pediatric Sedation (SPS) as well as on the Executive Committee and am the chair of the Quality and Safety Committee. In addition to clinical work and education, I am dedicated to decreasing pain and opioid exposure in children undergoing surgery through the use of innovative, nonpharmacologic interventions. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my husband and 5-year-old daughter, Marcella. I love riding horses and traveling. I am incredibly excited to be back on the East Coast and at such a wonderful organization. They say that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. I love taking care of children because of the impact I can have on their health and life, and the sheer joy found only in children. I am honored to have the responsibility for caring for someone else’s child and treating every child as if my own. I am proud to be at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware and to have the opportunity to serve my patients, families and team each day. I am passionate about being innovative in finding new and better ways to care for children and supporting the amazing team with which I work.
