Women’s Clinic Baptist Health System – Sherwood, Arkansas
New Women’s Clinic located in a new medical office park designated for a community based medical campus to be developed on an 11 acre site to serve the city of Sherwood. The theme of the Medical Campus was to provide a Wellness Center where all aspects of health care would be addressed. The wellness centers would include day care, rehab, fitness, pharmacy, and most outpatient services. The Team including the Women’s Clinic staff, Baptist Hospital management and care givers and the architect visited several Community Based Centers in Portland Oregon to observe first hand how the concept worked in place. At the time the Federal Government and third party payers were encouraging Hospitals to purchase medical practices. The Physicians would in essence bring their patients and practice into the system and become employees of The Hospital working in new facilities built and owned by the Hospital. The Hospital would have input in the planning and design, but approved by the Doctor.
