Little Rock, Ark., (February 24, 2020) – Baptist Health Urgent Care, opened today at 14524 Cantrell Rd., next to Señor Tequila Restaurant in west Little Rock.

The centers are open seven days a week and offer evening hours during the workweek, for added convenience. Walk-ins are welcome or online scheduling is available with Hold My Spot®.
