IMPACT Report

IMPACT 2024 SARH Foundation

SARH Swag:

SARH Swag Fundraiser Catalog was launched online in December 2024. A small selection of items can be ordered and purchased through the online catalog, and the SARH Foundation works with a local vendor to have the SARH logo embroidered. All proceeds from SARH Swag benefit the SARH Foundation’s current campaign. More items will continue to be added along with upcoming clearance items. Visit SARH Swag by clicking the image below:

SARH Employee Giving Circle:

The SARH Employee Giving Circle was created in 2024 for its physicians, nurses, staff, and all employees. Employees can sign up through the SARH Foundation or the SARH Human Resource Department by completing a payroll deduction form. Employees can select the amount and duration of their deductions. All proceeds from the SARH Employee Giving Circle benefit the SARH Foundation’s current campaign. However, employees also have the option to restrict their donations to a specific area of the hospital (of their choice).

Dr. Stephen Smart Board Room Dedication:

On Thursday, April 4, 2024, the SARH Foundation hosted a dedication reception for Dr. Stephen Smart at the Robert C. Tommey Conference Building at the South Arkansas Regional Hospital.  Before the hospital transition to SARH in July 2023, the most recent MCSA Board of Directors voted to rename their board room in his honor.  Therefore, the SARH (glass-walled) Board Room inside the Robert C. Tommey Conference Building was renamed the Stephen Smart, DDS Conference Room to honor his long-term service and commitment to our hospital. Family, friends, and colleagues donated to the SARH Foundation in honor of Dr. Smart’s service to the hospital and community.
