The plan includes “recruiting more than 100 new providers and 400 new team members, adding new programs, and building and modernizing facilities,” Arkansas Children’s President and CEO Marcy Doderer said in a May 5 news release.
The expansion is expected to happen over the next eight years and will require about $318 million in investment for construction at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock and Arkansas Children’s Northwest, according to the report. The plan will expand bed capacity, transform inpatient and outpatient surgical approaches with the addition of an ambulatory surgery center and redesign clinical spaces to promote multidisciplinary care.
Planning and engineering teams are finalizing proposals for the improvements, but an estimated 265,000 square feet of facilities will be built, according to the release. Additional renovations will span more than 170,000 feet. Detailed schematics will be released in the fall.
