Northwest Arkansas is a very unique metropolitan area and region in Arkansas within the beautiful Ozark Mountains. It includes four of the ten largest cities in the state: Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville, the surrounding towns of Benton and Washington counties, and adjacent rural Madison County, Arkansas. The Northwest Arkansas region is known for its natural environment, outdoor recreation, low cost of living, and great schools. The area is highlighted by many festivals throughout the year. University of Arkansas, and a large population growth year over year. Also home to three Fortune 500 giants (Wal-mart, Tyson Foods, and JB Hunt), Forbes ranks this area as one of the top 10 places to live in the US for careers.

The 11,000 square-foot facility houses advanced technology, including a CT scanner. The 24/7 emergency department is an extension of services for Northwest Health, operating as a department of Northwest Medical Center – Bentonville.

The facility also has two negative pressure rooms, designed to isolate a patient who is suspected of having – or has been diagnosed with – an airborne infectious disease. The design is intended to prevent the spread of a disease from an infected patient to others. Additionally, decontamination equipment is available for patients who have been injured by or exposed to chemicals. This assists our team in providing safe and appropriate care while protecting staff, patients or guests.
