BCMC Recognized for Advancing Rural Stroke Care
People who live in rural communities live an average of three years fewer than urban counterparts and have a 40% higher likelihood of developing heart disease and face a 30% increased risk for stroke mortality, according to an American Heart Association’s presidential advisory on rural health. Bradley County Medical Center is committed to changing that.
For its efforts to optimize stroke care and reduce gaps in rural health outcomes, BCMC has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Rural Recognition Bronze award.
Stroke is the No. 4 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S, according to the American Heart Association’s 2026 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Report. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked by a clot or ruptures, preventing blood and oxygen from reaching brain tissue. When this happens, brain cells begin to die. Early detection and rapid treatment are critical to improving survival, minimizing disability and supporting faster recovery.

Welcome to Bradley County Medical Center
EMERGENCY ROOM ENTRY DOOR CHANGES:
Bradley County Medical Center has made some changes to entry doors in an effort to enhance safety and security. ER Patients who are arrive by ambulance, and those who arrive by private vehicle and are non-ambulatory will continue to present to the glass doors at the ER driveway. Ambulance drivers have access with a badge. Those driving non-ambulatory patients to ER can use the doorbell to gain entry for the patient. ER patients who are ambulatory will use door at the ramp to be screened and registered.
BRADLEY STREET ENTRANCE:
The front door of the hospital on Bradley Street is now just an employee entrance. Please enter the hospital from one of the entrances on Jolley Street.
VISITORS:
The No Patient Left Alone Act was signed into law in Arkansas. This act states that a patient be allowed one support person who is permitted to be physically present on a daily basis at reasonable times throughout his or her hospitalization. In accordance with this new law, BCMC will allow one support person per patient during normal visiting hours.
Visitors are asked to use the entrance at the Registration Office on west side of the hospital on Jolley Street. That door will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and not open on weekends. Weekend visitors and after hour visitors will use the new ER Registration entrance on Jolley Street at the ramp to enter the hospital.
Bradley County Medical Center reserves the right to limit or place visitor restrictions in certain situations including, but not limited to, when the presence of visitors would be medically or therapeutically harmful; interfere with the care or rights of any patient; visitors are engaging in violent, disruptive, or threatening behavior; or visitors are noncompliant with BCMC policy. Children under 12 are discouraged from visiting.
Bradley County Medical Center has lifted their mask mandate. Patients and visitors no longer have to wear a mask unless they are exhibiting signs and symptoms of COVID-19 or Influenza. Masks will be provided for those who want to wear one.
