Northwest Health System has changed its name to Northwest Health and added Siloam Springs Regional Hospital to its network, the organization announced Thursday.
This addition makes Northwest Health one of the largest health networks in the state. It now includes: Northwest Medical Center-Bentonville, Northwest Medical Center-Springdale, Northwest Medical Center-Willow Creek Women’s Hospital, Siloam Springs Regional Hospital and Northwest Health Physicians’ Specialty Hospital.
“Siloam Springs Regional Hospital and the other hospitals in Northwest Health have worked together closely for years to serve the health needs of northwest Arkansas,” said Sharif Omar, CEO of Northwest Health. “Today we formalize our relationship by welcoming Siloam Springs to the Northwest Health network and expand access to quality care for the Siloam Springs community.”
The system has 487 beds, and a combined active medical staff of more than 540 physicians and 2,200 employees.
“Aligning together will support all of our efforts to deliver safe, quality patient care while positioning our network for long-term success and strength,” said Patrick Kerrwood, CEO of Siloam Springs Regional Hospital. “Our mission remains the same and what we do on a day-to-day level — caring for the people who live in our community — won’t change.”
There is no ownership change associated with the deal. Siloam Springs Regional Hospital said it will continue to operate with local leadership and make decisions about its services and physicians.
Siloam Springs Regional had $38 million in net patient revenue, according to Arkansas Business’ most recent list of hospitals and medical centers, published in October 2015.
