Hospital Plans to Expand Free Meals for Kids

Arkansas Children’s Hospital plans to expand a program that offers a free meal to children when they visit the hospital, the hospital’s chief executive officer said Thursday. CEO Marcy Doderer spoke about the program, which started last year, at a news conference about a report examining the status of efforts to improve children’s health.

The report, “Natural Wonders: The State of Children’s Health in Arkansas,” is published by Natural Wonders Partnership Council, a group that includes the hospital and several other state agencies and organizations.
