WASHINGTON COUNTY (KFSM) – Mercy is making its entrance into Washington County by integrating with a clinic in Springale, according to a news release.
Mercy is a health company that includes a 200-bed hospital in Rogers, an outpatient surgery center in Bentonville and 30 clinic locations in other areas including Bella Vista, Centerton, Lowell and more, the release states.
The health company will be integrating with the Northwest Arkansas Clinic for Families in Springdale at 1110 W. Robinson Ave., according to the release.
