CHI St. Vincent Heart Institute announced the creation of a new clinic to begin serving patients in and around De Queen, Ark. on April 11. Cardiologists Dr. Yuba Acharya, MD, and Dr. Srinivas Vengala, MD, will begin seeing patients on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at Heart Clinic Arkansas - De Queen, located in the new Sevier County Medical Center at 960 US Hwy 71.
“Access to healthcare, or the lack thereof, can significantly influence both the quantity and quality of someone’s life,” said CHI St. Vincent Heart Institute President Marcia Atkinson. “We know that access to quality heart care is limited in rural parts of Southwest Arkansas. That’s why this step to ensure patients in De Queen and its surrounding communities have convenient access to our leading cardiologists is so important.”
