Refer a Heart Patient

Together we’re a winning team

At Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute, we appreciate how thoroughly invested caregivers are in the well-being of their patients. We also understand how much trust they’re putting in our hands when they make a referral. That’s why we believe so strongly in thoughtful collaboration and frequent communication. We discuss the patient’s care before, during and after treatment.

When you recommend a child with suspected or known heart problems to Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute, the first stop is usually at our Cardiology Clinic. Our board-certified cardiologists provide hope and healing to the tiniest of hearts.
