Welcome to Baxter Regional Health System

Baxter Regional is a nonprofit health system, located in Mountain Home, Arkansas.

Since 1963, Baxter Regional Health System has exemplified compassion and excellence in healthcare. Nestled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, minutes away from world famous trout fishing rivers and nationally ranked bass fishing lakes, Baxter Regional is a fully integrated healthcare organization striving to provide excellent care to every patient, every time. With a 268-bed short-term acute care hospital, outpatient surgery center and over 30 clinics and off-site services, Baxter Regional offers a broad range of services and specialties to meet the ever-growing needs of our 11-county service area in North Central Arkansas and South Central Missouri. A medical staff of more than 180 primary care and specialist physicians and mid-level providers, over 1,700 employees and 500 volunteers make Baxter Regional the leader in quality healthcare.

Guided by a culture of excellence and compassion, our purpose is to preserve Baxter Regional as a comprehensive, independent, community-driven health system in order to optimize access to quality healthcare for patients in the communities we serve. Being comprehensive can mean many different things, but to us it means listening to our patients' needs and providing the services that people in most rural communities would have to drive hundreds of miles to receive. Independent means we aren't owned by a large corporate entity. Our senior leaders and board members are your friends and neighbors and always strive to do what is best for our community. We pride ourselves on being the heartbeat of the region, and that is what community-driven means to us.
