Arkansas Children's Hospital - Central Little Rock Promise Neighborhood
Modeled after the Harlem Children's Zone, the Central Little Rock Promise Neighborhood (CLRPN) promises to take steps to ensure that children from targeted low-income neighborhoods in Little Rock have happy, healthy, and productive childhoods. Working with other partners, Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) is helping to organize programs and services needed to fulfill this promise to the community. CLRPN has identified 10 focus areas considered key to keeping the promise and has formed "Promise Groups" to act on these areas.
