Where You’ll Work

CHI St. Vincent, a regional health network serving Arkansas, is part of CommonSpirit Health. We have served Arkansas since 1888 with a history of many firsts. Together with more than 4,500 coworkers, 1,000 medical staff, and 500 volunteers, we consistently receive praise for care advancements.

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.
