Children at three local schools will have more opportunities for wellness where they live, learn, and play with the opening of the Stephens Elementary School-Based Health Center in the Little Rock School District.
The center is a collaborative effort, with Arkansas Children’s as its medical partner in providing primary care to students at Stephens Elementary. Student siblings will also receive care. Students who participate in the Children’s International program at Bale and Wakefield Elementary Schools in the LRSD will also have access to the center’s care.
