Little Rock-based Arkansas Children's Hospital and Conway (Ark.) Regional Health System embarked on an affiliation agreement to create a pediatric nursery alliance, according to Log Cabin Democrat.
Under the terms of the affiliation, neonatologists from Conway Regional and physicians from ACH's neonatal intensive care unit will work together to improve the quality of newborn care at both facilities.
The financial terms of the agreement, if any, have not yet been disclosed.
"Today we introduce the first nursery alliance in Arkansas that focuses specifically on neonatal care by partnering with local hospitals," said Marcy Doderer, president and CEO of ACH. "It begins right here, right now at Conway Regional. Together, Arkansas Children's Hospital and Conway Regional Health System will ensure Arkansas' newborns get better today and can be healthier tomorrow."
