Situations seem to be tough for a regional hospital in our area. Electric service has been disconnected and reconnected on most of the service accounts there.
The DeQueen Regional Hospital employees met recently with UA Cossatot Chancellor Dr. Steve Cole and De Queen Mayor Jeff Brown about the dire circumstances
The hospital is not accepting new patients or conducting emergency services to patients and are telling callers to call 911 for the nearest source of emergency treatment. The hospital is on ambulance diversion to other facilities, though still open.
No word if another healthcare operation would want to assume operations of the hospital.
