St. Edwards Hospital

Submitted by Jack James

The 30-bed St. Edward Infirmary was established by 1905, named after the Bishop Edward Fitzgerald of Little Rock, who gave the Sisters permission to open the infirmary. An expanding need for hospital space led to the opening of a new 100-bed facility on Rogers Avenue, named St. Edward Mercy Hospital, in 1923. In 2012, St. Edward Mercy Hospital was renamed Mercy Hospital Fort Smith.
