How We Began
The Pine Bluff clinic began operations in 1993 in a small building provided by Jefferson Regional Medical Center. The first location had only 4 treatment rooms, so it was a great surprise when local business man Don Ritchie offered to build a structure just for UAMS Kids First.
Appointment Information
Evaluation for enrollment at Kids First requires a referral from the child’s primary care physician.
Through the intake process, our interprofessional team of early childhood professionals, occupational, speech, and physical therapists, dietitians, and nurses works with families to conduct evaluations and collect information regarding the child and family’s strengths and needs. Results from the assessments are reviewed by the Kids First team to determine eligibility for services.
