Description
CHI St Vincent Infirmary is a 600bed faithbased notforprofit hospital and level II trauma center serving the health care needs of Central Arkansas
History

A 10bed Charity Hospital was founded on East Second Street by the Hagers estate and with the support of Little Rock financier Edward Parker and others It was the first hospital outside the boundaries of Kentucky which the Sisters of Charity would operate
