September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness month and Arkansas Children’s is asking the community to GO GOLD in support of pediatric cancer awareness and treatment. The Will Golf 4 Kids tournament and Color of Hope Gala committees have committed to raising $5 million to expand services for children with cancer and blood disorders at Arkansas Children’s Northwest (ACNW).
Over the next five years, funds raised will support the addition of a pediatric oncologist, nurses, and support services staff for the ACNW hematology/oncology program, creating as many as six new positions.

Dr. Chandra Lingisetty, an internal medicine specialist at Baptist Health, recently received the Top 100 Healthcare Leaders Award, conferred at the International Forum on Advancements in Healthcare in Las Vegas.
