Arkansas Children’s is writing a new chapter in pediatric health care for the nearly 700,000 children in the state. Last year, our award-winning health system served 170,000 children. We provide exceptional care for everything from bumps and bruises to rare genetic disease. Every time we give life-saving quaternary and tertiary care to the most vulnerable, conduct edge-of-medicine research or develop innovative new technologies, we etch our vision of unprecedented child health into each patient’s story.

Each year we celebrate some of the finest examples of how teams and individual team members at Arkansas Children's set high standards for themselves and the care they provide — and then exceed those goals. These excellent outcomes we achieved in 2023 became our new baseline and standard we aimed to improve upon in 2024.

There has never been a more exciting time in pediatrics or a more inspiring moment to be at Arkansas Children’s. Modern medicine is changing rapidly, offering us innovative ways to discover, learn and heal. The dynamic collaboration between the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Department of Pediatrics and Arkansas Children’s is transformative. We are leading developments in tomorrow’s cures and delivering excellent outcomes by providing cutting-edge clinical care today. Together, we advocate for children while preparing the next generation of pediatric providers and leaders.
As the pediatrician-in-chief and the UAMS Department of Pediatrics chair, I am excited to report that our strategic focus is building, training and supporting an innovative team of ambitious, forward-thinking and service-minded physicians and scientists.
