Morales, the latest addition to our healthcare team, brings her wealth of experience and dedication to De Queen, Sevier County, and the surrounding areas. She’s not only a healthcare provider; she’s a community member who genuinely cares about the well-being of her neighbors.
“I’ve always wanted to do healthcare,” Morales said. “It’s something I’ve been passionate about, and I’m dedicated to providing quality care for families in the De Queen area. My goal is to provide top-notch healthcare and make a positive impact in the lives of our patients.”

Today, we have important news to share regarding our Montgomery County Community Clinic in Mt. Ida. In recent weeks, the Mt. Ida clinic has faced significant building and staffing challenges, leading us to suspend clinic operations. Our primary focus is on providing you with the high standards of care you deserve.
During this closure, we want to reassure you that our other locations, including Mena and three Hot Springs area facilities, are fully operational and ready to serve your medical needs. Additionally, we are thrilled to introduce Telehealth Services to better serve you during this period. This convenient option allows you to consult with our experienced medical professionals from the comfort of your own home, providing access to medical advice when you need it most.
