A private, not-for-profit hospital, Conway Medical Center began in downtown Conway approximately 60 years ago with 6 physicians on staff. Today, the medical staff has grown to more than 200 representing many specialties and sub-specialties. The hospital employs approximately 1400 people and is one of the county’s largest employers. After more than three years of construction work, Conway Medical Center dedicated its new Patient Bed Tower on July 28th, 2009. Everything in the Tower has been designed to promote healing. There are streamlined nursing stations, the latest technology, large rooms that can accommodate patients and families, and countless amenities.
