Saint Vincent Infirmary Medical Center

Saint Vincent Infirmary Medical Center is a Catholic Health Initiatives Hospital in Little Rock, AR. Once a month, AAHKS Member D. Gordon Newbern, MD accepts a patient who needs hip or knee surgery, often a hip or knee replacement, but sometimes arthroscopy from the Saint Vincent Free Community Clinics for the Medically Uninsured. These are patients who have no insurance and no means of paying for costly medical care themselves.

 

If surgery is needed, then Dr. Newbern does the surgery at no charge and the hospital does not charge for its service either. They donate all the hospital care, OR time and implant cost, pharmacy and staff time.
