The organisation has partnered with more than 30 Conway-based physicians to build the new medical centre, which will operate as a not-for-profit, faith-based community hospital offering clinical services.

Baptist Health said the $130m project would create nearly 250 jobs during the construction stage, and around 425 healthcare professionals and staff will be appointed at the time of its completion.

GSR Andrade has been selected to provide architectural design services for the project, while CDI serves as the general contractor.
