Northwest Health opened a new emergency department, located at 1255 S. Shiloh Dr. in Fayetteville. Once the site of the Clarion Hotel, the new 24/7 emergency department represents an investment of approximately $9.5 million, according to Denten Park, market CEO for Northwest Health.
The 10,300 square-foot facility houses advanced technology, including a CT scanner. The 24/7 emergency department is an extension of services for Northwest Health, operating as a department of Siloam Springs Regional Hospital which makes it designated as a Level IV trauma center through the Arkansas Department of Health.
Dr. Danelle Richards serves as medical director for emergency services for Northwest Health while Dr. Joe Olivi serves as medical director of trauma services. Tiffany Means, DNP, MHA, CENP, is the department director for emergency services.
“We’re excited to expand our presence in the community of Fayetteville and to provide service closer to a number of other cities south of Fayetteville, including Farmington, Prairie Grove, West Fork, Elkins, and Lincoln,” said Park. “We are pleased to be able to provide faster access to emergency care for more people.”
