The Baptist Health Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) celebrated the opening of a second location in Hot Springs on Sept. 27.
Baptist Health PACE, 2100 Albert Pike Road, provides a unique coordinated care approach for nursing-home-eligible seniors who wish to remain living independently within their communities. This facility will serve residents of Garland and Hot Spring counties.

Adult day health center facilities, transportation to/from the center and medical appointments, and other services are also available.
