The Pharmacy Department at ACH works as part of Team ACH providing high quality health care to the children of Arkansas. Our 60 plus member department strives to be on the leading-edge of therapy and that means our pharmacists and technicians are called upon to acquire and utilize new information daily. We screen all medication orders either on the unit or in the pharmacy to ensure quality and identify potential problems with dosage, drug therapy regimens and drug interactions. Our interventions are a valued part of the ACH patient safety program. ACH is the Pediatric teaching arm of the University of Arkansas Medical System. Being a teaching hospital means ACH is dedicated to furthering the education of all team members. Consider being a part of our team as we participate in changing children’s lives.
