CHRISTUS Health announced today it has finalized the purchase of Wadley Regional Medical Center in Texarkana, ensuring compassionate, quality care to area residents for decades to come. 

CHRISTUS purchased the hospital from Steward Healthcare, ensuring it would not close following Steward’s bankruptcy. CHRISTUS is committed to maintaining continuity of care in the community and will retain nearly all the hospital’s clinicians and staff. 

“We are aligned in our commitment to providing exceptional health care services to our community,” said Jason Adams, president of CHRISTUS St. Michael Health System.  

Added Thomas Gilbert, Wadley president: “We’re excited to join the CHRISTUS family so that together, we can provide the Texarkana community with the excellent care they need and deserve.”
