Pediatrics Plus, It is a privilege to be part of a team that is committed to making a difference in the lives of children and families everyday. Your dedication and collaboration not only drive our mission Empowering Children to Conquer Their World - but also serve as a source of inspiration to those around you!

This year has been a whirlwind of activity and achievements! In Mid-March, we celebrated the transition of Van Buren to its new location, followed shortly by the opening of Alma’s new developmental preschool building. This paved the way for the exciting remodel of the Alma therapy space. In May, our team’s resilience shined through as we swiftly relocated to a temporary site within a week after a tornado hit our Rogers location. The opening of a temporary site for The Cabot Farm in August was another milestone, and we are near completion of the framing at the permanent Cabot Farm location. Additionally, the Conway Clinic has begun expansion of its parking lot, soon adding over 70 new parking spaces. Looking ahead, we are excited about the groundbreaking of our newest Farm, Little Flock!

Throughout these projects, your patience, willingness to assist, and invaluable insights have been instrumental in our journey to provide more services to children throughout Arkansas. We are grateful for your unwavering support and innovative ideas as we continue to strive for excellence at Pediatrics Plus.

All About

Me

We want to learn about all of your favorite things!

Help us get to know you better by completing the All About Me form!

We would like to challenge our team members to live in the moment but with a perspective pointing forward. We want to continue to dream small in each and every opportunity that we have serving children and families, but we want to do it with “Someday” in mind.

At Pediatrics Plus, our vision of empowering children to conquer their world is accomplished day in and day out by our team members. Without you – we cannot accomplish this vision.

Pediatrics Plus is able to serve others because of one incredible resource - our people. We don’t just want to point our eyes toward “Someday” for our children and families, we want to challenge you to think about your personal “Someday” dreams. We value our team members and want to help provide resources to see you accomplish your personal “Someday” dreams.

Please take time to pause, reflect, and then tell us your top 3 “Someday” dreams.

Thank you for choosing to be a part of Pediatrics Plus!

AS SUMMER WINDS DOWN IN THE GARDENS, WE'RE STILL ENJOYING WATERMELONS AND THE ONGOING OKRA PRODUCTION. OUR PUMPKINS AND WINTER SQUASH ARE MATURING. DID YOU KNOW....WINTER SQUASH IS A SUMMER CROP, BUT IT STORES WELL THROUGH THE WINTER. WE'RE NOW PLANTING OUR FALL CROPS: KALE, CHARD, BROCCOLI, CARROTS, CAULIFLOWER, AND MORE.

AS THE SEASONS SHIFT, SOME PLANTS HAVE REACHED THE END OF THEIR LIFE CYCLE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CORN IS FINISHED GROWING, BUT WE’VE GOT SOME EXCITING PLANS AHEAD! WE’RE HARVESTING THE CORN STALKS AND DRYING THEM, MAKING THEM PERFECT FOR AUTUMN DECORATIONS!
