The team is led by John Alberty, MD, medical director of pediatric gastroenterology at ACNW, according to a Jan. 17 news release. It will also include pediatric gastroenterologist Abdel Hammo, MD; Kelsey Hindman, DNP, APRN; and Karla Moran, RN. 

The expansion will save patients in the area from having to travel to Arkansas Children’s in Little Rock for routine procedures, consults and follow-up appointments. It is also expected to reduce patient wait times for care. 

“With 100,000 kids in this area, the demand [for gastrointestinal services] is huge,” Dr. Alberty said in the release.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
