North Arkansas Regional Medical Center ( NARMC ):
IS SETTING A NEW STANDARD IN SURGICAL CARE , BRINGING CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY RIGHT TO THE HEART OF NORTH ARKANSAS .
North Arkansas Regional Medical Center ( NARMC ) is setting a new standard in surgical care by bringing leading-edge technology directly to the heart of North Arkansas . With the addition of the da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System , NARMC now offers patients the most advanced care available . This revolutionary system represents the future of surgery , allowing skilled surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision , control , and flexibility all while enhancing patient outcomes .
The da Vinci Xi system empowers surgeons by acting as an extension of their hands , not a replacement . This advanced technology supports minimally invasive procedures with exceptional accuracy , enabling surgeons to perform even the most delicate surgeries with greater dexterity . The system ’ s 3D magnified view of the surgical site provides a real-time , enhanced perspective , allowing for smaller incisions resulting in less discomfort , reduced blood loss , and faster recovery times for patients .
The benefits of the da Vinci Xi are particularly significant for those who previously needed to travel outside the area for advanced surgical care . Now , world-class care is available close to home in North Arkansas . Specialists at NARMC have undergone extensive training on the system , ensuring a high level of expertise and optimal patient outcomes . NARMC surgeons Dr . Corey Smith , OB / GYN , MPH , ( pictured above ) and Dr . Daniel Decker , Urologist , have performed over 885 procedures utilizing the da Vinci Surgical system over the last decade .
NARMC ’ s investment in the da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System is not merely a technological upgrade ; it exemplifies the hospital ’ s dedication to improving patient outcomes . By minimizing recovery times , reducing pain , and promoting faster healing , NARMC helps patients return to their lives sooner .
This commitment to patient-centered care is reflected across NARMC ’ s extensive service lines . The hospital ’ s most recent CMS 4-Star Rating , based on a variety of factors including patient experience and clinical outcomes , highlights their ongoing commitment to exceptional healthcare . Adding to NARMC ’ s recent achievements , the hospital has once again received the prestigious international Baby-Friendly designation , awarded through December 2028 . This honor , awarded after a thorough review by Baby-Friendly USA , affirms NARMC ’ s dedication to excellence in maternal and infant health .
With the da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System and a commitment to quality at every level , NARMC is not only prepared for the future of healthcare but is also actively shaping it — one patient at a time .
