Arkansas Children’s team members imagine more for their patients, often because of their own experience as pediatric patients or caring for a loved one with the same condition they now treat. As part of this spotlight from our Celebrating Who We Are series, we’re sharing a personal story that shaped how one team member's health journey inspired them to imagine more for every child.

Meet Mary-Kaylin Tran, BSc, a clinical research coordinator for neurology and certified nursing assistant who knows firsthand what it means to be a pediatric patient at Arkansas Children’s. After being diagnosed with a brain tumor that caused hydrocephalus, Mary-Kaylin underwent 10 brain surgeries at Arkansas Children’s Hospital as a child.

Today, at 25, she has turned her experience into a mission: advocating for pediatric patients and providing the understanding she once needed herself.

“I get to give them the exact feedback that they need in that moment, and that’s what makes me so grateful,” Mary-Kaylin said. “I hate that I have this condition, but there are people out there who need people like me.”

🌟 Meet Arkansas Children’s pediatric gastroenterologist Dr. Abdel Hai Hammo. 🌟

Born in Jordan, Dr. Hammo was the first in his family to become a doctor, inspiring a legacy that has since grown to include doctors among his children and cousins. Today, he brings that pioneering spirit to caring for children with gastrointestinal conditions, including abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, poor weight gain, celiac disease and food allergies.

At Arkansas Children’s, our pediatric gastroenterology team takes a collaborative, family-centered approach to care. When a child travels from across the state to see a specialist, our teams work together to connect families with the additional services they may need – from nutritional evaluations to other specialized care – all in one place.

Whether a child needs evaluation for a common GI concern or specialized care for a complex condition, our team is here to help kids feel their best and get back to being kids. 💙

It’s not every day you get to meet an NBA player at Arkansas Children’s. 🏀

Isaiah Joe stopped by Arkansas Children’s Hospital this week to spend time with patients and team members, signing mini basketballs and snapping photos along the way.

The visit came as Isaiah and the Isaiah Joe Family Foundation celebrated a $150,000 gift to the Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute following the inaugural Isaiah Joe Family Foundation Children’s Classic Golf Tournament.

For Isaiah and his family, the visit was especially meaningful. His younger brother, Jon, was a cardiac patient at Arkansas Children’s and underwent several surgeries before age 4 for a congenital heart defect.

Thanks for bringing the good vibes, Isaiah! We love having you on our team. 💙

Years ago, Arkansas Children’s cared for Isaiah Joe’s little brother, Jon. Today, professional basketball player Isaiah is giving back to help care for the next generation of kids. ❤️

Fort Smith native and former Arkansas Razorback Isaiah Joe and the Isaiah Joe Family Foundation have made a $150,000 gift to the Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute following the inaugural Isaiah Joe Family Foundation Children’s Classic Golf Tournament.

Jon was a cardiac patient at Arkansas Children’s and underwent several surgeries before age 4 for a congenital heart defect that was identified early through prenatal screening.

Now, Isaiah is helping other children and families facing similar journeys. His gift will support the Heart Institute and help advance early detection and intervention for children with congenital heart anomalies.

Thank you to Isaiah Joe and the Isaiah Joe Family Foundation for turning a deeply personal connection into hope for children and families across Arkansas and beyond.

👷‍♂️🦺 Arkansas Children’s patient Liam Solis, 8, didn’t just want to hear about what was happening behind the walls of Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH). He wanted to see it for himself.

Liam got an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour this week of the construction happening at ACH, where construction workers showed him everything from the giant saws they use to how a new walking ramp will help patients like him navigate the hospital more easily.

Liam was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in September 2025 and receives care through ACH Neurology. His family makes a five-hour roundtrip from Barling every six months to see Aravindhan Veerapandiyan, M.D., affectionately known as “Dr. Panda,” an Arkansas Children’s pediatric neurologist and director of the Comprehensive Neuromuscular Program and the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy Certified Duchenne Care Center.

What’s being built inside ACH is more than new spaces and walkways. It’s a hospital designed with kids like Liam and their families in mind.

Led by experienced physicians, these sessions help preteens and their parents learn about the physical, emotional and social changes of puberty in a safe, supportive environment.
