LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Baptist Health Urgent Care has announced it will open two new locations later this summer in Fort Smith and Van Buren.
The location in Fort Smith is scheduled to open in late July and will be located in the Northside area on Rogers Avenue, across from Walgreens. In August, a center in Van Buren will open on Fayetteville Road, across from McDonald’s.
