GRAVETTE - Ozarks Community Hospital of Gravette celebrated its fifth anniversary Sunday, April 14.

To recognize this milestone, OCH will host a series of events for employees and community members, including a Business After Hours on Thursday, April 18. This event will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the front lobby of the hospital and is open to the public. OCH administrators will be present and free hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served.

“We’re extremely thankful to all the community members and leaders that have supported the hospital throughout the years,” said Morgan Black,Gravette OCH communications coordinator. “Because of your support, we can continue to provide excellent health care to the Gravette community.”

The hospital, formerly known as Gravette Medical Center Hospital, was reopened by OCH in April, 2008. Upon reopening, the hospital offered a 25-bed inpatient service, 24-hour emergency room and outpatient services, including lab and radiology. Since then, OCH has continued to grow, adding a sleep lab, swing-bed program, physical therapy, behavioral health and pain-management services.

OCH also now has two hospital clinics, OCH Gravette Clinic, and an OCH Noel Clinic set to reopen to the public on May 6, 2013.
