The new Northwest Health Emergency Department Fayetteville opened on March 17, designed to provide faster, more convenient access to emergency care for people living south of Fayetteville. The construction represents an investment of approximately $9.5 million, according to Denten Park, market CEO for Northwest Health.
“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.”
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.
As with all Northwest Health emergency departments, the facility is designed to ensure quality of care as well as safety, privacy and convenience. It includes:
- Ten patient treatment rooms - with three triage exam rooms - are private, comfortable and equipped for the care of individuals of all ages.
- A trauma exam room will assist the team in caring for critically ill or injured people.
- An ambulance bay is located on the south side of the building.
- A specialized room is available for the safe care of psychiatric patients.
- The facility also has a negative pressure room, designed to isolate a patient who is suspected of having – or has been diagnosed with – an airborne infectious disease. The design is intended to prevent the spread of a disease from an infected patient to others.
- Additionally, decontamination equipment is available for patients who have been injured by or exposed to chemicals. This assists our team in providing safe and appropriate care while protecting staff, patients or guests.
- Laboratory services will help analyze blood and specimens.
- Respiratory therapy services will provide care for those having trouble breathing.
- And, finally, imaging services include a new CT scanner, ultrasound and ‐ray equipment to help our physicians diagnose injuries and illness and to provide quality care.
