Arkansas Children’s has received a $1.5 million gift from Hank’s Fine Furniture. Made as part of Arkansas Children’s ongoing expansion project, the gift will help deliver better access, exceptional outcomes and improved on-campus experiences at the state’s nationally ranked pediatric health system.
