More than 40 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) partners raised $5,416,243 in 2023 for Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Arkansas Children’s Northwest.

CMN Hospitals raises funds and awareness for 170 children’s hospitals across the U.S. and Canada. Arkansas Children’s has been a member since the organization’s founding in 1983. This month, CMN Hospitals announced a record-breaking fundraising year, raising more than $449 million in 2023 – a 6.9% increase in fundraising year-over-year.

Northwest Health welcomes board-certified, fellowship-trained breast surgical oncologist Christopher A. Menendez, MD, FACS, to the medical staff, practicing at Northwest Breast Care Associates.

Menendez practices the surgical treatment of breast disease, specifically breast cancer. In practice for more than 15 years, Menendez was the first surgeon in the state of Arkansas to use a non-radioactive wire-free localization system during breast conservation surgeries.
