Baptist Health recently inaugurated the Baptist Health Family Clinic-Rose City, marking a significant milestone in healthcare services for the residents of North Little Rock and its neighboring communities.
Expanding Healthcare Reach
Located at 4200 E. Washington Ave., the newly opened 6,500-square-foot clinic stands as the first full-service medical facility in the eastern region of North Little Rock since the unfortunate incident of a medical office burning down in 2013. This establishment is the result of a fruitful partnership between the City of North Little Rock and Baptist Health, aimed at promoting accessible and quality healthcare services in the area.
Supporting Community Growth
Troy Wells, the President and CEO of Baptist Health, expressed his excitement about the clinic's role in advancing the organization's mission of delivering top-notch services with a touch of Christian compassion. He highlighted how this initiative would enhance healthcare accessibility for the residents of the Rose City neighborhood, bringing essential care closer to their doorstep. Mayor Terry Hartwick of North Little Rock also commended the collaboration between the city and Baptist Health, emphasizing the significance of the new clinic in supporting the rapid growth of the eastern part of North Little Rock. With the area witnessing an influx of new factories and residences, the clinic's strategic location is poised to cater to the evolving healthcare needs of the community.
