Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #318 at 109 WP Malone Drive keeps Baptist Health OR suites, Twin Rivers rural clinics, OBU/HSU athletic trainers, Clark County EMS, Georgia-Pacific onsite medics, and DeGray event planners stocked without waiting on Little Rock depots.
Within 20 miles are Baptist Health–Arkadelphia, Twin Rivers Medical Center, DeGray Lake water intakes, Georgia-Pacific Gurdon, Scroll/American RailCar, Clark County Industrial Park, Little Rock Air Force Base training routes, and the I‑30/US‑67 interchange. Severe thunderstorms, campus events, Wildcat football, DeGray Lake tourism, forestry burns, and I‑30 hazmat incidents demand a “medical suppliers near me” counter tuned to the Ouachita corridor—this Malone Drive hub delivers.
Arkadelphia blends healthcare, higher education, timber/pulp manufacturing, tourism, and rural EMS coverage.
