Arkansas Children’s Hospital has received a $2 million donation from Lynn and Don Parker and their children to help fund the ACH expansion project. The Jonesboro-based family has also committed a $1 million gift to the ACH Jonesboro Clinic.

This is the family’s second $1 million gift to the clinic. They also gave $1 million in 2019.

ACH is in the midst of a $318 million expansion project at both hospitals, announced in 2023. The plan will expand bed capacity, transform inpatient and outpatient surgical approaches with the addition of an ambulatory center, redesign clinical spaces to promote multidisciplinary care and create an inviting and accessible campus experience. With the Parker family donation, companies, individuals and organizations have donated $12.1 million toward the $253.2 million expansion project at ACH.
