“I rise today to recognize Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville as it celebrates 75 years of dedicated service to the people of northwest Arkansas. Since its founding in 1950, this institution has grown from a small county hospital into the region's largest health system, anchored by a state-of-the-art medical center, as well as a robust network of clinics, specialty services, and outreach programs. Washington Regional has long been a trusted care leader, committed to improving the health and well-being of families across the rapidly growing region it serves. From earning national recognition for stroke and spine care to receiving the Lantern Award for outstanding emergency services, it continues to deliver high-quality medical attention close by for our family members, loved ones, and neighbors. Its dedicated providers and support staff have been strong partners in promoting community health beyond just the hospital walls. Through wellness initiatives, health education, and outreach alongside local organizations, it has advanced preventative care and addressed pressing health challenges, working to ensure that even the most vulnerable Arkansans have access to the support they need. As WRMC marks this milestone, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to the physicians, nurses, staff, and volunteers who work very hard contributing to its mission.”
