FORT SMITH, Ark — Baptist Health Fort Smith has opened a newly remodeled pediatric unit. The unit was remodeled thanks to a donation from the Baptist Health Fort Smith Auxiliary, and the creativity of a local nurse.
“The auxiliary has always been able to fund the free valet service at the hospital, but with COVID-19 we’ve had to temporarily suspend that service,” said Alice Swaim, auxiliary president. “We saw this time as an opportunity to support the hospital and its patients in other ways. When the opportunity to create this beautiful space came up, we were excited to be a part of it."
