At NARMC, every improvement we make is rooted in one purpose: caring for our communities with the best experience possible, close to home.

On November 1, we launched a new electronic health record system that more seamlessly connects your care across our entire organization. This means your providers can more easily stay on the same page, and your health information travels with you wherever you receive care within the NARMC system. That connection helps create a smoother, more coordinated experience for you and your family.

Like any big transition, there may be moments over the next few weeks when things move a little slower as our teams adjust. We know your time is valuable, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this together.

Thank you for trusting us with your care and for being part of the NARMC family. It is an honor to serve the communities we call home, and we remain committed to investing in the future of healthcare right here for generations to come.

October was filled with hope, healing, and community spirit. From pink donuts and drinks to cake pops and our annual cake walk, our events brought everyone together to raise awareness and support those affected by breast cancer.💗

Every week, we hosted internal events for our employees to encourage and remind them that they are the best advocates for the healthcare of their loved ones. Each of us has the power to spread the word and raise awareness for breast cancer.

Here’s a look back at all the fun we had:
◾October 3 – Donut Stop Believing: Pink donuts kicked off the month with a sweet start.
◾October 10 – Drink Pink for a Cure: Pink drinks and cookies fueled awareness and support.
◾October 17 – Pink Pop Power & HHS Pink Out: Employees enjoyed popcorn and guessing jars throughout the day. Team members from across NARMC attended the HHS Pink Out football game, handing out breast cancer awareness materials and encouraging everyone to make cards for cancer patients undergoing treatment at Claude Parrish Cancer Center.
◾October 23 – Hope is sweet: Delicious cake pops delighted everyone.
◾October 29 – Whisking Cancer Away: Our annual cake walk closed out the month with smiles and celebration.

Although October is over, it doesn’t mean breast cancer awareness should end! Early detection saves lives!

If you are within the recommended age for screening, call 870-414-4888 today to schedule your 3D mammography and take charge of your health!

One year after introducing the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, NARMC’s robotic surgery program continues to grow and make a difference, and this week we’re celebrating a major milestone! Dr. Corey Smith and his team have officially completed their 100th robotic-assisted surgery here at NARMC! With nearly 700 robotic-assisted surgeries performed throughout his career, Dr. Smith brings extensive experience to this growing program.

Since the first case, our surgical team has integrated this new option into patient care with skill and precision, helping it become a valued part of the services we provide to our community. The da Vinci Xi is one of many tools our surgeons use to meet each patient’s unique needs, offering a minimally invasive option for certain procedures that allows for smaller incisions and shorter recovery times.

This milestone reflects not only Dr. Smith’s expertise but also the collaboration, care, and consistency that have made this first year such a success. We’re grateful for Dr. Smith, his team, and our entire Surgical Services department for their ongoing commitment to patients and to the communities we serve!

We are excited to spotlight these incredible instructors in our mental health first aid training program made possible through grant funding by SAMHSA! Be sure to follow the NARMC EMS page for these spotlights and information regarding future classes and initiatives.

At NARMC EMS, we believe that mental health IS health. 💚

With support from SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), our team is taking an important step to strengthen mental health awareness and response in our community.

Through Mental Health First Aid, our EMS professionals are learning how to recognize when someone may be struggling, respond with compassion, and connect them to help when it’s needed most.

For us, this isn’t just training. It’s a commitment. Every call, every encounter, every person matters. Knowing how to see beyond the surface and respond with understanding can make all the difference.

Several of our EMS team members have also taken the next step to become certified Mental Health First Aid instructors. In the coming days, we’ll introduce each of them and share what this program means to them and to the communities they serve.

This initiative reflects who we are at NARMC EMS: dedicated to care, support, and hope, in every form of health.
