PINE BLUFF - Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) Pine Bluff Clinic in association with Jefferson Regional, the state's only pediatric health system celebrates the clinic opening and the donors who helped make the new clinic a reality.

The 10,250-square-foot, kid-savvy clinic is a strategic hub for families in the Southeast Arkansas region, delivering care close to home through services like preventative care, developmental screenings, community resources and health education.

Providers began seeing patients at the clinic in late July. The physicians will also provide frontline care to newborns delivered at Jefferson Regional through the statewide ACH Nursery Alliance. The new mission-centered clinic requires a $17.5 million investment to cover construction and operating costs for the first five years.

Thanks to the support of the Pine Bluff community and donors across the region, more than $10 million in philanthropic gifts have been secured for the ACH Pine Bluff Clinic.
