Sparks Health System
Sparks Health System brings good health to western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. The not-for-profit health system operates Sparks Regional Medical Center, a nearly 500-bed community-based hospital, along with a broad range of health care programs and diagnostic facilities. With Arkansas' oldest hospital (founded in 1887) as part of its operations, Sparks boasts an impressive lists of "firsts," including the state's first heart institute (Stanley E. Evans Heart Institute) and the state's first ultrasound equipment. However, an expensive renovation and economic woes pinched the company and in 2009 it was acquired by health care giant Health Management Associates (HMA).
