Big news for families in the Arkansas River Valley! 👶💙

Johnson Regional Medical Center (JRMC) is the newest member of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) Nursery Alliance, our statewide collaborative designed to strengthen newborn care by linking community hospitals with the state's most advanced pediatric resources.

This alliance builds on the exceptional care already provided by JRMC's physicians, nurses and care teams at Clarksville Women's Center, which delivers more than 400 babies annually. By joining the alliance, JRMC gains direct access to neonatology expertise and best practices from ACH, the state's only Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The collaboration ensures families in the River Valley benefit from advanced clinical resources while remaining close to their support systems at home.

“Every child in Arkansas deserves a healthy start, no matter where they are born,” said Marcy Doderer, FACHE, President and CEO of Arkansas Children’s. “Through partnerships like this we meet families exactly where they are, bringing specialized care directly into their communities. The health of Arkansas mothers and children depends on this spirit of collaboration.”
