Arkansas Children's Innovation Center

Every day at Arkansas Children’s, clinical leaders and healthcare professionals make critical decisions concerning the treatment of infants, children and adolescents. These decisions originate from knowledge — organized information that is born from research discoveries, evidence-based practices and innovation. Unfortunately, there are many diseases for which there are no cures, treatments that are less than optimal for numerous health conditions, and prevention strategies for diseases and illnesses that simply don’t work 100 percent of the time. Integrating research and innovation across the organization is essential in discovering a healthier tomorrow. Additionally, an active research and innovation program will attract top physicians, scientists and technology staff members. National recognition as a creative force in pediatric healthcare will develop as new diagnostics, devices and therapeutics are evident in research and other work conducted across the Arkansas Children’s enterprise.

To improve the health and well-being of children in Arkansas and beyond, Arkansas Children’s collaborates with the state’s leading innovation, entrepreneurship, and accelerator leaders to transform our culture of curiosity and creativity and advance the knowledge that will guide the way we prevent and treat injury and illness tomorrow.
