Baptist Health officials on Wednesday (Sept. 4) held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of Baptist Health Family Clinic-Rose City, which will serve residents of North Little Rock and surrounding communities.
A partnership between the City of North Little Rock and Baptist Health, Baptist Health Family Clinic-Rose City is the first full-service medical clinic in the east part of North Little Rock since a medical office burned in 2013.
The nearly 6,500-square-foot clinic is located at 4200 E. Washington Ave. in North Little Rock.
“In addition to advancing Baptist Health’s mission of providing quality services with Christian compassion, we believe this will help improve health care access for residents in the Rose City neighborhood so they can get the care they need closer to home,” said Troy Wells, president and CEO of Baptist Health.
“Baptist Health continues to provide quality health care and we are pleased they have partnered with our city in creating this health clinic for our residents,” said North Little Rock Mayor Terry Hartwick. “The east part of North Little Rock is the fastest growing part of our city. We have three new factories, new homes, and are excited for this clinic to support our growth. The location of this clinic is vital for North Little Rock.”
