Eureka Springs Hospital will have a new ramp soon.
On Monday night, interim CEO Angie Shaw told the Eureka Springs Hospital Commission that the concrete ramp on the back side of the hospital is in need of repair. Shaw said the ramp is used for deliveries and to wheel patients to the helipad for helicopter transfers.
These past few years have been pretty brutal on it, Shaw said. From my understanding, it was built in the 1970s. Its lasted quite a bit, but it is starting to deteriorate.
After the last winter storm, Shaw said, the deterioration has grown worse.
