Wadley Regional Medical Center, the oldest hospital in Texarkana, has a long-standing tradition of providing compassionate and high-quality healthcare. As a leader in the region, Wadley has pioneered numerous medical firsts, including being the area's first Joint Commission-certified Primary Stroke Center and the first state-designated Level II Primary Stroke Center. Additionally, Wadley is the region's first dual-designated Level III Advanced Trauma Center by both the State of Texas and Arkansas. The hospital has also introduced robotic surgery and many firsts in equipment and services to the Wadley Breast Health Center for breast cancer diagnosis. Patients have praised the facilities, staff, and the personal and private experience at Wadley. The waiting rooms for families are individual rooms with private bathrooms, and the staff is described as friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, making patients feel comfortable. One reviewer specifically highlighted the exceptional service provided by a staff member at the emergency room registration desk, who went above and beyond to assist and address the patient's concerns. Recently, patients shared positive experiences with the caring staff, noting how attentive they were before and after surgery. One mentioned Dr. Beth Peterson, who was very attentive and communicative. The nurses in the Day Surgery Facility received high praise for their professionalism and caring attitude, leaving patients and their families very impressed with the care received. However, there was an incident where a loud argument outside a hospital room disrupted the peaceful environment, leading to a stressful night for the patient and their family.
