Five of the Best Reasons to Support Arkansas Children's Hospital
1. Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) is the only pediatric hospital in the
state. ACH works with referring physicians and hospitals to provide medical
care for the most critically ill and injured children of our state.
2. Arkansas Children's Hospital treats children even if their parents cannot
pay for treatment. ACH gives away more than $15 million in charity care each
year.
3. The healthcare professionals at ACH are specially trained to treat children.
Treating children is vastly different from treating adults.
It is impossible to treat children by just miniaturizing adult healthcare. ACH treats
children with all sorts of health problems including cancer, congenital heart
defects, cystic fibrosis and cerebral palsy, to name a few.
4. Physicians and scientists are conducting important research at the Arkansas
Children's Hospital Research Institute and the Arkansas Children’s Nutrition
Center. This research aids in our understanding of child development and some
diseases. New therapies and preventive measures discovered at ACHRI and ACNC
can be more rapidly introduced to children in Arkansas communities.
5. We’re not just focused on treating the sick and injured children who
come through our doors. We’re also committed to devoting personnel and
resources throughout the state to educate children, parents, teachers and others
about ways to keep kids alive and out of the hospital.
