CAVHS has 280 operating hospital beds on both campuses as well as a 119-bed Domiciliary Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Unit that provides long-term rehabilitative care and a 152-bed Community Living Center on its North Little Rock Campus. CAVHS serves as a teaching facility for more than 1,500 students and residents enrolled in more than 65 educational programs; its principal affiliate in the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. |
