Fifty-six beds. Every name known.
Big facilities can feel like hallways full of strangers. Riverside stays small on purpose, so the people caring for your loved one get to know them, and you, by name.
Families in the river valley shouldn’t have to choose between staying close and getting serious medical care. Riverside is here so they don’t have to.

See daily life
Arkoma raised us. Now we return the favor.
Arkoma was platted in 1911 on the Choctaw Nation side of the state line and named for the border it sits on: ARKansas and OKLAhoma. Coal mines ringed the town and a streetcar ran to Fort Smith.
The families who built that town are the families we care for today.
Right on the state line
Five minutes from downtown Fort Smith, at 1008 Arkansas Street in Arkoma.
