Arkansas Children’s has received a $1.5 million gift from Hank’s Fine Furniture. The gift was made as part of Arkansas Children’s ongoing expansion project.
The gift was made in memory of Hank Browne, founder of Hank’s Fine Furniture, who passed away in 2022 of glioblastoma, a type of cancer that originates in the brain. In recognition of his longtime support of Arkansas Children’s and in observance of September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the new bone marrow transplant suite at Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) will be named in his honor.
The Hank Browne Bone Marrow Transplant Suite will include specialized rooms specifically designed to meet the needs of immunocompromised bone marrow transplant patients. Located adjacent to the ACH hematology/oncology unit, the redesigned space will be able to accommodate dedicated equipment and intensive patient monitoring.
