Booneville Medical Complex

The City, Community and Business Leaders of Booneville and South Logan County take Health Care very seriously.

Since 2000, steps have been taken toward developing a Medical Complex, hinged around the existing Booneville Community Hospital.

In 2000, a new Senior Care Facility, Oak Manor Nursing Center, was built.  In 2002, additional land was purchased to make way for expansion of the existing hospital.  In 2003, the Citizens of Booneville passed a 1-cent sales tax to fund the upgrading of the existing hospital and fund the construction of a new hospital facility.  A new Logan County Health Department was added in 2004, with a new family medical clinic opening in the Spring of 2005.  A new Home Health office was constructed in 2006.  The final piece in the Medical Complex is a new Critical Care Rural Access Hospital. Construction began in January 2007 and completion is projected for December 2007.

The cornerstone of the many health services offered within South Logan County is the 25-bed Booneville Community Hospital.  The hospital has just opened a Rural Health Clinic that is open Monday through Friday from 6 pm to midnight, and 8 am to 8 pm on Saturday and Sunday.  Booneville Community Hospital also provides full-time in-house ER coverage from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. each night with 24-hour coverage on weekends. Also available at the hospital are home health services, CT scans, MRIs, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, laboratory services, ultrasound, EKGs, mammograms, out-patient surgery and most acute care hospital services.

Booneville Community Hospital is proud to be an independent, community owned and supported health care facility.

The Hospital Commission is as follows: Jim West, Chairman; Mary Beth Ferguson; Glynn Carpenter; John Guetzlaff; William Daniel, MD; Jerry Standridge; and Shelly Lee.

First Major Step Taken Toward New Hospital

On February 28, 2006, ground is broken for a new Home Health office just behind the existing Booneville Community Hospital.

After this facility is completed, and Home Health relocates their offices and services to it, the existing Home Health facility will be demolished to make way for the new Hospital Facility.

Booneville is home to the Booneville Family Clinic which is staffed by 3 family physicians. Other health services available in the community include 2 dental offices, one chiropractic clinic offering massage therapy, a nursing home facility, and a county health clinic.

Also available in Booneville are development disabilities services provided by the Booneville Human Development Center. In addition, the Western Arkansas Counseling and Guidance Center and the Western Arkansas Area Agency on Aging have offices in the area to complete the health service structure in Booneville.

Booneville Family Clinic is proud to be an independent health care facility.
