CONWAY — Medical facilities in the region are developing plans to return to routine operations. Or, as Memorial Hospital President Art Mathisen put it: “It’s time to start turning the lights back on.”

To be clear, the lights never really went out at the hospital, which has continued to see some patients in addition to devoting much staff time to preparing for a possible large local outbreak of COVID-19.
