Little Rock healthcare
Little Rock offers a deep hospital and specialist map that still needs personal route review
Little Rock’s catalog maps 15 hospitals and 3,875 reported beds within 12 kilometers, with UAMS Medical Center, Baptist Health Medical Center Little Rock, and CHI St. Vincent Infirmary as named local anchors. UAMS describes a 24 hour emergency department and an adult Level I Trauma Center, while the nearest CMS rated hospital entry is 2.0 miles away with a 3 of 5 star row.
The breadth is useful for research, not a promise about a household’s care. Coverage, appointments, clinician fit, service scope, medication access, language, parking, and the trip home all deserve direct confirmation from the chosen address.

15 hospitals are listed within 12 km. A primary care visit, a pharmacy stop, and an urgent need may not all be equally close to the same home.

Little Rock in everyday life
Could Little Rock work for you?
What may work well
- UAMS, Baptist Health Medical Center Little Rock, and CHI St. Vincent Infirmary give the care review named local institutions.
- Fifteen mapped hospitals, 3,875 reported beds, 541 selected specialists, 85 pharmacies, and 14 HRSA adult primary care sites create a substantial research list.
- Post acute and home support records make it possible to ask about more than hospital care alone.
What to think about
- The nearest CMS rated hospital row is facility specific and should not be used as a citywide quality judgment.
- Listed counts do not settle appointments, insurance acceptance, wait times, clinician fit, outcomes, or the trip home.
- Specialty and support needs may change the best address more than the citywide access label does.
