Correction from Baptist Health In the August 17th issue of this publication, Baptist Health ran an ad which provided information about a lifesaving treatment for newborns called Cool Cap. The ad mistakenly said Baptist Health was the only hospital in Arkansas to offer this technology, however Arkansas Children’s Hospital was actually the first facility. We want to acknowledge the work of the team at ACH who participated in the initial research to provide this technique that is benefitting families.

Little Rock Wastewater is currently performing smoke testing throughout the city of Little Rock. Smoke testing is a cost effective way to survey the condition of Sanitary Sewer Mains and Service Lines. Smoke is blown through the lines and seeps out of the ground through cracks in the sewer pipes thus pinpointing defects. The smoke is non-toxic and dissipates quickly. Wastewater crews will post fliers around neighborhoods to be affected so residents are notified of upcoming testing.
