Let me start off by saying that I do not work at our local hospital, however I do work at a hospital in the area. I love Arkansas Childrens Hospital, and they do wonderful work for our state for many very ill children, they also do a wonderful job with the families of the patients that they take care of. I would like for you as community leaders/citizens to consider putting you efforts into supporting your local hospitals, Chicot, Crossett, Dewitt, Drew, Dumas, McGehee, and Warren. Please support your local provider, because in many cases they are the first door you enter before you get to Arkansas Childrens Hospital…………….Thank you so much for your support that you do give us……………..
