Southwest Arkansas ties Little River Memorial Hospital, Wadley Regional Medical Center, CHRISTUS St. Michael, Red River Army Depot, TexAmericas Center, Domtar Paper, Georgia-Pacific, Millwood Lake, Sevier County forestry, and the I‑30/US‑71/US‑59 logistics triangle. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #133 at 297 Highway 32 Bypass keeps Little River Memorial OR suites, Wadley trauma, CHRISTUS cath labs, Ashdown/Foreman EMS, Domtar onsite medics, Red River Army Depot clinics, and Millwood Lake rangers stocked without waiting on Dallas or Little Rock depots.
Within 20 miles are Little River Memorial Hospital, Domtar Paper, Nekoosa Packaging, Red River Army Depot, TexAmericas industrial parks, Millwood Lake State Park, I‑30 corridor, Union Pacific/Txk rail hub, and the Port of Index on the Red River. Severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, Millwood flood control, pulp/paper shutdowns, Red River Army Depot exercises, and I‑30 hazmat incidents require a “medical suppliers near me” counter aligned with southwest Arkansas ICS—this Highway 32 bypass hub delivers.
Ashdown blends healthcare, heavy manufacturing, defense logistics, agriculture, and cross-border trade. LAC Health supports that mix with generator-backed cold rooms, bilingual (English/Spanish) manifests, and MOUs with Little River OEM, Texarkana OEM, Domtar safety, and Arkansas Game & Fish.
