  • Fast Access. Not only does your family have fast access to the pediatric experts in the ER, the ER staff also has immediate access when needed to our pediatric specialists at Arkansas Children's Northwest and at Arkansas Children's Hospital. 
  • Kid-sized care. We specialize in kids and they come in all shapes and sizes. From the tiniest babies to adult-sized teens, we have the right-sized equipment and care for every child. 
  • Peace of Mind. You will have peace of mind knowing that your precious child is receiving the best care for everything from bumps and bruises to serious illness.
