Little Rock-based Arkansas Children’s received a $2.5 million donation from the Log a Load for Kids foundation to expand its heart research.
The funding will go toward heart research to advance innovations in diagnosis, treatment and care of pediatric patients in the state and region, according to a March 26 system news release. It will also endow two heart-related chairs at the main hospital: the Log a Load for Kids of Arkansas Endowed Chair in Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery and Log a Load for Kids of Arkansas Endowed Chair in Congenital Cardiac Disorders.
Log a Load for Kids is a national fundraising organization, founded in 1988 when a group of loggers and workers in the forest products industry donated “the value of a load of logs” to their local Children’s Miracle Network hospital. The Arkansas chapter has supported cardiovascular services at the hospital for more than a decade, according to the release.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
