Infirmary Best in Central Arkansas for Cardiology, Heart and Vascular Surgery

The annual U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals rankings are out, and CHI St. Vincent Infirmary has been ranked best in Central Arkansas for Cardiology, Heart and Vascular Surgery! U.S. News specifically called out aspects of the patient experience at the Infirmary, giving high marks for patients being discharged home rather than another facility, number of patients seen, and availability of follow-up patient services.

In addition, three CHI St. Vincent hospitals have been recognized as High Performing for 2025! The Infirmary was recognized in seven categories, while North and Hot Springs were named High Performing in two categories each. You can see the full break down of the High Performing categories below.

Each year, U.S. News evaluates more than 4,000 hospitals around the country. Only a third of hospitals earn an award. Results are based on hospital performance in measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications, and level of nursing care.

Congratulations and thank you to all of our coworkers who made these achievements possible! We’re proud of you and grateful for the work you do every day to make CHI St. Vincent stand out.
