Baptist Health of Arkansas: Dedicated to Wellness, Driven by Purpose On February 16, 1921, the Pulaski County Circuit Court ordered the incorporation of Baptist State Hospital, and the organization that would eventually grow into the Baptist Health system was born. Though the original hospital opened its doors in Little Rock with less than a hundred beds in a small building, the purpose was significant – create a healthier community through Christian compassion and innovative services. While much has changed over the past century, our goal has remained the same and has served as the driving force behind all we’ve accomplished. Today, Baptist Health is Arkansas’ most comprehensive healthcare organization with more than 200 points of access that include 11 hospitals, urgent care centers, a senior living community, and over 100 primary and specialty care clinics in Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. The system additionally offers a college with studies in nursing and allied health, a graduate residency program, and access to virtual care through a mobile app. Baptist Health, as the largest not-for-profit health care organization based in Arkansas, provides care to patients wherever they are through the support of approximately 11,000 employees, groundbreaking treatments, renowned physicians, and community outreach programs.
