Our physician ownership is very important to patients! The Department of Health & Human Services has reported that physician-owned hospitals provide a high level of quality care, offer value for the patients in the additional amenities they provide, and have much lower complication rates than general hospitals. Additionally, at physician-owned hospitals, the nurse-to-patient ratio is significantly better than in general hospitals. At Arkansas Surgical Hospital, we staff our patient care unit with an average ratio of one (1) Registered Nurse for every five (5) patients. Additionally, all RNs are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Saving procedures.
