If you have questions or if you are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19:

• Call 1-800-743-3616 to speak with an Arkansas Children’s pediatric nurse. Nursing staff will be available for questions and phone screenings 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• UAMS HealthNow is also offering a free screening tool available 24 hours a day at UAMSHealth.com/healthnow. This service is for patients of all ages.

Arkansas has its first presumptive case of coronavirus. If you have traveled out of the state or country in the last 2 weeks or you feel like you have been exposed to the coronavirus please let us know prior to entering the clinic. Our staff will be asking you these same questions when scheduling/confirming appointments and upon check in.

Please note: We are unable to test for this virus, as we do not have tests available at our clinic.
