In 1888, two vitally important developments occurred in the history of Arkansas health care. A pair of pioneering hospitals both opened: St. Vincent Infirmary in Little Rock and St. Joseph’s in Hot Springs. In 2014, St. Joseph's became part of CHI St. Vincent and changed its name to reflect the new partnership. With more than 300 licensed beds, CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs is a faith-based, not-for-profit organization serving the health care needs of Hot Springs, Ark., and surrounding communities.
