1 min read

The Arkansas Children’s Foundation announced Saturday that the Willard & Pat Walker Charitable Foundation has donated $8 million to the Arkansas Children’s Northwest hospital in Springdale. 

The new $167 million, 233,613-SF hospital is set to open this month or in early February.

The brightly lit stairwell spanning the height of the building was named the Pat Walker Beacon of Hope during a celebration Saturday. Two other areas, the Willard Walker Helipad and the Pat & Willard Walker Family Outpatient Clinics, were also named in honor of the foundation’s gift. 

This donation brings the total raised for the project, people and programs at the new hospital to $80 million. The hospital has received more than 14,000 contributions from more than 8,000 people.
