The Ruth Beall Society
Ruth Olive Beall worked tirelessly to improve conditions and care for children as the second superintendent of the Arkansas Children's Home and Hospital. It was her mandate that no child was ever turned away, regardless of their family's ability to pay. Because of philanthropy, this mandate still exists today and it will continue for generations to come.
For more than 100 years, Arkansas Children's mission has been advanced by the kindness of countless friends who have remembered us in their estate plans. These investments have allowed Arkansas Children's to grow into a state-wide pediatric health system conducting world-class research and providing complex care to our children. We honor the significant investments made by those individuals and families by including them in the Ruth Beall Society.
