CoxHealth and North Arkansas Regional Medical Center announced on Monday that they will jointly open a new medical facility in Harrison.
The facility will be housed in the former Bear State Bank branch at 1401 Highway 65 North in Harrison. NARMC purchased the building and engaged CoxHealth to manage the renovations necessary to convert it into a medical office complex.
The facility is expected to open by fall 2021 and will house a variety of physician practices from both NARMC and CoxHealth.
“The mission, vision and values of CoxHealth and NARMC are closely aligned. This relationship will provide patients in our region specialty care without the need for travel. Our common goal is to strengthen the sustainability of our hospital and the provision of quality care in our region,” NARMC President and CEO Vince Leist said in a news release.
“We constantly look for places and ways we can help patients throughout the region receive the care they need,” added Max Buetow, vice president of Cox Medical Group. “This expansion and our work with NARMC are things we are very excited about. We believe they will result in a greater experience for our patients and, ultimately, better health for the communities we serve.”
CoxHealth plans to use the new facility to expand the number of specialties it offers locally. These services will be determined in cooperation with NARMC leadership.
CoxHealth Center Harrison, which opened in August, will move to the new space.
