If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1.

Emergencies can happen at any time. That’s why it’s important to be prepared and know where to go when you need medical care- fast. The emergency medicine team at Baptist Health provides care to patients when they need it most. Baptist Health features two 24/7 emergency departments: one in Fort Smith at Baptist Health-Fort Smith and one in Van Buren at Baptist Health-Van Buren. Both emergency departments are fully staffed to provide care for everything from cuts and broken bones to life-threatening conditions such as heart attack or stroke. We provide efficient, prompt and compassionate care, and offer:

• Multi-functional treatment rooms for patients with varied conditions.
• A dynamic ER design focused on providing a better experience for patients and visitors.
• Highly qualified, dedicated health care professionals who are committed to the highest standards of care.
