Saline Health System

What Saline Health System does

Saline Health System is a private, non-profit community hospital system headquartered at 1 Medical Park Drive in Benton, Arkansas, operating Saline Memorial Hospital as its primary facility. It serves Saline County and surrounding areas, delivering the full spectrum of acute and outpatient care through departments including a 24/7 Emergency Room, Diagnostic Imaging (with Picture Archival Communication System / PACS enabling film-less digital radiology and remote clinician access), Cardiology, Cardiopulmonary, Bariatrics and Weight Loss, Colorectal Surgery (with TAMIS and InterStim therapy), Orthopedic Care, Diabetes Care, Labor and Delivery, Women's Health, Behavioral Health, Sleep Center, Wound Care, Rehabilitation, and Outpatient Services. Patient-facing digital channels include an online Patient Portal, an online Find-a-Doctor scheduling tool, health risk assessments for heart, diabetes, colon, joint, and stroke risk, and community classes and support groups.

The system generates revenue through standard fee-for-service hospital billing, with publicly disclosed charges ranging from roughly $23 (venipuncture) to $38,686 (permanent pacemaker insertion) and inpatient room charges of $998–$5,585 per day, consistent with participation in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services programs. With 251–500 employees, it functions as a mid-size community acute-care provider anchored by its regional inpatient footprint, physician referral network, and emergency department catchment rather than by any specific commercial product offering. The system has sustained external quality validation, earning four consecutive Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade 'A' awards (Fall 2024 through Spring 2026) and the 2025 Platinum Performance Achievement Award from the ACC's NCDR Chest Pain – MI Registry, and has continued incremental clinical expansion, notably through the addition of interventional cardiologist Dr. Ayman Alshami in January 2026 and the appointment of Amy Rice as CFO in December 2025.

Direct peers

• Arkansas Heart Hospital: Arkansas Heart Hospital is a specialty heart hospital in Little Rock focused on interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery. It is comparable to Saline Memorial's cardiology program, which just added a senior interventional cardiologist (Dr. Ayman Alshami) and earned the ACC's 2025 Platinum Performance Achievement Award — directly competing for cardiac referrals from Saline County residents.
• Unity Health (White County Medical Center): Unity Health is a non-profit community hospital in Searcy, Arkansas, serving White County. It is comparable as a peer Arkansas community acute care hospital with a similar service mix (emergency, cardiac, surgery, women's health) and comparable size and rural-adjacent operating model.
• Arkansas Surgical Hospital: Arkansas Surgical Hospital is a physician-owned specialty surgical hospital in Little Rock focused on orthopedics, spine, and bariatric surgery. It is comparable as a peer that competes for specialty surgical referrals from central Arkansas, including weight loss, orthopedic, and colorectal patients who might otherwise be served at Saline Memorial.
• Conway Regional Health System: Conway Regional Health System is a non-profit community hospital system serving Faulkner County, Arkansas. It is comparable to Saline Health System as a similarly-sized non-profit community acute care system in central Arkansas offering comparable services including imaging, cardiology, orthopedics, and women's health.
• Jefferson Regional Medical Center: Jefferson Regional Medical Center is a non-profit community hospital in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, serving Jefferson County and surrounding areas. It is comparable as a peer acute care community hospital of similar scale, and it is the prior employer of Saline's new interventional cardiologist Dr. Ayman Alshami, who served as medical director of its cardiac catheterization lab.

Broad incumbents

• UAMS Medical Center: UAMS Medical Center is the state's only academic medical center, located in Little Rock. It is comparable as a tertiary destination that absorbs complex referrals from community hospitals like Saline Memorial and competes for specialty physician talent in the central Arkansas market.
• Baptist Health (Arkansas): Baptist Health is the dominant non-profit health system across central Arkansas with multiple hospitals including a flagship in Little Rock. It is highly comparable to Saline Health System as both operate community-style acute care hospitals in Arkansas with overlapping service lines (cardiology, orthopedics, women's health), and it represents the primary out-of-county competitor for higher-acuity cases.
• CHI St. Vincent Health System: CHI St. Vincent is a Catholic non-profit health system serving central Arkansas with hospitals in Little Rock and surrounding areas. It is comparable to Saline Health System because both are non-profit Arkansas hospital systems offering general acute care, cardiac, and surgical services to similarly-sized communities.

Regional players

• Wadley Regional Medical Center: Wadley Regional Medical Center is a community acute care hospital in Texarkana, Texas, operated as part of a regional system. It is comparable as a peer community-scale non-profit/general hospital in a mid-sized regional market, providing a useful benchmark on community-hospital economics and quality recognition outside the immediate Little Rock orbit.
• National Park Medical Center: National Park Medical Center is a community acute care hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas, operated by an investor-owned system. It is comparable as a peer Arkansas community hospital with overlapping service lines (imaging, cardiology, orthopedics) serving a similar mid-sized Arkansas community.
