“I’m from Morrilton, Arkansas, and I’ve never lived out of state – or wanted to,” said Dr. Bryant Virden, a pediatric psychiatrist who recently joined Mercy Clinic Behavioral Health in Fort Smith. “Arkansas is my home and I intend to stay here.”
When Virden enrolled in medical school, he knew he wanted to care for children. It was his time working on the Child Diagnostic Unit at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences’ Psychiatric Research Institute in Little Rock that sparked his interest in child psychiatry.
