Physicians at Saline Heart Group maintain privileges at several Little Rock Hospitals, but admit and round only at Saline Memorial Hospital.  Our office is a one minute walk via the breezeway to the coronary care unit.  This allows easy access to our patients and enhances are ability to monitor their problems.  A variety of data including, hospital medical records, hospital imaging services and real time telemetry are available in our office via a direct computer link.

Saline Heart Group physicians currently provide 2/3 of the general cardiology on call services at Saline Memorial Hospital.  Along with our colleagues at Heart Clinic of Arkansas, 24-7 coverage is available.  We have enjoyed participating in a major capability upgrade at our community hospital.  Most cardiac problems can now be handled in house - MOST PATIENTS WILL NEVER NEED TO LEAVE OUR COMMUNITY FOR EVEN THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF CARE. In addition to the usual cardiac testing and procedures outlined above, staff cardiologists at Saline Memorial Hospital work closely with Radiology and Surgery colleagues to provide high level vascular services.

Dr. Baxley and Dr. Hatch are proud members of the Saline Hospital Medical Staff.  We believe the first rate facilities and equipment now available at Saline Memorial Hospital along with a well trained and dedicated staff, fit well with the SHG core concept of investing and designing systems that deliver the best and most compassionate care to our community.
