We're excited to announce that Arkansas Children's Research Institute has received a $662,000 four-year award from The National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a groundbreaking study to explore why children in Arkansas face unique challenges with asthma. Arkansas Children's allergist-immunologist Dr. Akilah Jefferson will investigate the factors behind higher asthma rates, especially in rural and underserved communities. Asthma is already one of the most common childhood illnesses, but children in Arkansas—particularly those from minority or low-income families—are more likely to experience severe complications. With this new funding, Dr. Jefferson’s research will focus on improving asthma care and creating a healthier tomorrow for Arkansas children. ??

We're thrilled to announce the expansion of our fetal echocardiogram services, with the addition of pediatric cardiologist Dr. Benjamin Ittleman at Arkansas Children's Northwest! A fetal echocardiogram is a special ultrasound that looks at your baby’s heart before birth, checking for important details like heart rate, rhythm, chamber sizes and cardiac valves. It’s a vital tool in identifying potential congenital heart issues early on, ensuring peace of mind for expecting parents. From prenatal care to pediatric cardiology, we’re here to support your baby’s heart health every step of the way. ???? #FetalEcho #Echocardiogram #PediatricCardiology #HeartHealth #Arkansas #Pediatrics #Cardiology

A mother's intuition and willingness to try a new treatment through Arkansas Children’s may mean her son can live for years without Type 1 diabetes. Earlier this year, 11-year-old Jesse White became the first pediatric patient in Arkansas to receive Tzield, an FDA-approved drug therapy aimed at delaying the onset of Type 1 diabetes. Chief of Pediatric Endocrinology Dr. Jon Oden highlights how this treatment is especially exciting for children, as they often progress faster than adults in developing Type 1 diabetes.
