Care Providers Talk Ahead of Medical Plaza Opening

Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 12:00 AM

Harrison, Arkansas' new North Arkansas Regional Medical Center medical plaza opens on Sept. 11, and its care providers spoke on Wednesday ahead of the that.

Dr. Evan Branscum, Dr. Heather Bridges and ARPN Kelsey Gregory from Cox Health Harrison Clinic appeared on KHOZ's "Around The Table" to discuss the new plaza. Branscum said he and his colleagues have practiced there since 2020. He said he and his colleagues are "very excited" to move their work to new NARMC plaza. This newly built facility is bigger.

Bridges described additional space as a "desperate" need. She has worked in Cox for five years, but before that she served in Branson in urgent care. The new plaza will serve many people.

Branscum said the primary care team can "pretty much see everything." This ranges from newborns to geriatric patients. Patients with chronic disease or issues like breaks, sprains, mole removals and more are among those who come in for care.

Later, Branscum called the new plaza "beautiful." The team was present during the open house that happened on Sept. 7. More was discussed on the broadcast.

The full interview with the three medical professionals is on the "Around The Table" Facebook Page.
