CONWAY — While many Memorial Hospital employees have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the hospital still faces challenges in keeping its staff healthy, and hospital president Art Mathisen said he was pleased that staff numbers of infections has been kept low.

In a Zoom meeting last Friday, Mathisen said the hospital is very busy, mostly with non-COVID related patients, and the in-patient beds are mostly full. All normal operations are going on and all clinics are open, he said.
