Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock has announced plans to build a new pediatric hospital campus in Springdale, Ark., on 37 acres of donated land.
The new campus is just one part of ACH's broader plan to expand pediatric services across Arkansas, according to ACH President and CEO Marcy Doderer.
"We are going to blanket the state with services that will improve access to pediatric care and improve the health of children throughout our state," said Ms. Doderer.
The proposed 225,000-square-foot facility will include 24 inpatient beds, an emergency department/urgent care center with 21 exam rooms, 30 clinic exam rooms, five operating rooms, a helipad with a refueling station and many other capabilities and services.
All total, the project is estimated to cost $184 million over the next five years.
