Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of life’s greatest moments, and we believe becoming a parent deserves to be celebrated. 💙

In the coming weeks, Mena Regional will be introducing a Candlelight Dinner for Two for parents after the arrival of their little one. As part of the experience, each parent will receive a complimentary Mena Regional champagne flute to take home as a keepsake to remember the special day their baby arrived.

Parents will be able to choose from a full menu with several entrée options, along with salad and dessert, and your table will be set up right in your room for convenience. If you’d rather stay cozy in bed, that’s perfectly fine too—whatever keeps you comfortable and makes the moment feel special.

Because welcoming your baby into the world should be a moment worth celebrating.

Dar la bienvenida a un nuevo bebé al mundo es uno de los momentos más grandes de la vida, y creemos que convertirse en padre o madre merece celebrarse. 💙

En las próximas semanas, Mena Regional presentará una Cena a la Luz de las Velas para Dos para los padres después de la llegada de su pequeño. Como parte de esta experiencia, cada padre recibirá una copa de champaña conmemorativa de Mena Regional para llevar a casa, como recuerdo del día tan especial en que nació su bebé.

Los padres podrán elegir de un menú completo con varias opciones de plato principal, además de ensalada y postre, y su mesa será preparada directamente en su habitación para su comodidad. Si prefieren quedarse cómodamente en la cama, también está perfectamente bien—lo que sea que los haga sentir más cómodos y haga el momento aún más especial.

Porque darle la bienvenida a su bebé al mundo debe ser un momento digno de celebrar.

✨ Employee Spotlight: Kellie Bagley ✨

This month we’re proud to spotlight Kellie Bagley, our wonderful Medical Records Technician in Medical Records at Mena Regional Health System.

Kellie’s very first job was waitressing at Vicky’s Café, where she learned the importance of hard work and serving others. Today, what she loves most about working here isn’t just helping patients — it’s getting to work alongside some of the most caring and friendly people every day.

Outside of work, Kellie is all about family and the outdoors. She has two children, Ely (12) and Klara (9), who keep her busy and proud. She loves hunting, fishing, riding horses, dancing with her husband, and simply living the simple life.

One big goal on her bucket list? Hunting a red stag in New Zealand — a true outdoor adventure that fits her spirit perfectly.

Five hashtags that describe Kellie best:






Kellie, thank you for the heart and dedication you bring to Mena Regional every single day. We’re so thankful you’re part of our team 💙

💙 Mena Regional is Joining the March Milk Donation Challenge!

Mena Regional Health System is proud to partner with the UAMS Milk Bank as an official drop-off location for the March Milk Depot Challenge!

During March, milk depots across Arkansas are working together in a friendly competition to support our state’s most medically fragile babies. We’ll be competing in three categories:

• Most total milk donated
• Most individual donors
• Largest single donation

With NICUs across Arkansas seeing high census levels, the need for donor milk is greater than ever. Every ounce donated helps provide safe, lifesaving nutrition to newborns who need it most.

If you are a current milk donor or interested in becoming one, you can drop off your donation right here at Mena Regional Women’s Services.

Let’s come together, Mena, and make March a record-breaking month for Arkansas babies 💙

📞 Call Women’s Services to learn more or schedule your donation.



💙 ¡Mena Regional se une al Desafío de Donación de Leche de Marzo!

Mena Regional Health System se enorgullece de colaborar con el Banco de Leche de UAMS como un punto oficial de entrega para el Desafío de Depósitos de Leche de Marzo.

Durante el mes de marzo, los centros de donación de todo Arkansas participarán en una competencia amistosa para apoyar a los bebés más vulnerables del estado. Competiremos en tres categorías:

• Mayor cantidad total de leche donada
• Mayor número de donantes individuales
• La donación individual más grande

Con las unidades NICU en todo Arkansas con alta ocupación, la necesidad de leche donada es mayor que nunca. Cada onza ayuda a proporcionar nutrición segura y que salva vidas a los recién nacidos que más la necesitan.

Si actualmente eres donante de leche o estás interesada en convertirte en una, puedes dejar tu donación aquí mismo en Servicios para la Mujer de Mena Regional.

Unámonos, Mena, para que marzo sea un mes récord para los bebés de Arkansas 💙

📞 Llama a Servicios para la Mujer para obtener más información o programar tu donación.
