Arkansas Children’s President & CEO Marcy Doderer toured the construction site at Arkansas Children’s Northwest (ACNW) this week, sharing updates on the hospital’s $82.7 million expansion and updated renderings with local media.

"My phrase is always, 'Travel is inconvenient for everyone and impossible for some.' And I've experienced that myself as a mom, and so being able to build a space in northwest Arkansas – the second largest region in our state – so that kids don't have to travel for care, is really a vision come true."

The expanded space will welcome overnight patients in the fall of 2026 and add new operating rooms, a new procedure room and a new endoscopy procedure suite. With more resources, advanced tools and spaces designed just for kids, ACNW’s growth will bridge a gap for families in surrounding states and reduce the need for Arkansas families to travel outside the region for higher levels of specialized care.
