NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock on Monday, Oct. 30, opened a new unit that increases access to life-saving behavioral health care.
“This new unit is yet another significant investment by Baptist Health to improve access to behavioral health services,” said Cody Walker, president of Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock. “Within the last year, Baptist Health has opened a new outpatient behavioral health clinic, a memory care clinic as well as a psychiatry residency training program all right here in North Little Rock.”
