Expansion 

Arkansas Childrens is undergoing an exciting expansion. In 2026, ACNW will create more resources, advanced tools and spaces tailored to childrens specific needs. This growth will bridge a gap for families from surrounding states who need higher levels of specialized care and will further reduce the need for Arkansas families to seek care outside the region.

In 2026, key enhancements to ACNW will include expanding several outpatient specialties, including Pulmonary through 16,500 new square feet of space. To learn more and see renderings, visit archildrens.org/expansion.
