Together with more than 4,500 coworkers, 1,000 medical staff, and 500 volunteers, we consistently receive praise for care advancements. With more than 280 licensed beds, CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs is a faith-based, not-for-profit organization serving the health care needs of Hot Springs, Ark., and surrounding communities. CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs and CHI St. Vincent Infirmary in Little Rock are two of just over 400 Magnet hospitals nationwide and two of just four in Arkansas. As a Magnet institution, CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs achieved Magnet status for the first time on October 14, 2020 and employs the highest standards of quality and ensures that patient care and safety are the top priority. Studies show that Magnet hospitals have better overall patient outcomes than non-Magnet hospitals.
