At the 2025 Arkansas Hospital Association (AHA) Annual Meeting, Ron Peterson, President and CEO of Baxter Health, was presented with the A. Allen Weintraub Memorial Award, recognizing his exceptional contributions to the healthcare industry and his unwavering commitment to both his community and the well-being of patients and staff at Baxter Health.

The A. Allen Weintraub Memorial Award is the highest honor bestowed by the Arkansas Hospital Association. Named in honor of Allen Weintraub, a beloved longtime administrator at St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center in Little Rock, the award celebrates the qualities that made Weintraub such a revered figure in both the healthcare industry and the community. Weintraub’s dedication to the hospital and healthcare system, as well as his devotion to the community, earned him the admiration of his peers and colleagues.

The A. Allen Weintraub Memorial Award is given to hospital administrators who demonstrate similar qualities of excellence, compassion, and leadership. Awardees are recognized not only for their exceptional contributions to the health and welfare of their communities but also for their strong civic commitment, their passion for quality care, and their visionary influence on healthcare.

Ron Peterson’s recognition comes in acknowledgement of his exceptional leadership at Baxter Health, where he has served as President and CEO for more than 18 years. Under his stewardship, Baxter Health has continued to grow and provide high-quality healthcare to the residents of north central Arkansas and south central Missouri. Peterson’s commitment to both the hospital and the community mirrors the values held by the late Allen Weintraub, particularly his dedication to the improvement of healthcare for Arkansans, his compassionate care for employees, and his consistent focus on advancing healthcare services in the region.

🦃💙 Bringing Thanksgiving Home

This week, our Baxter Health Home Health team came together in a special way—by preparing Thanksgiving meals for some of our Baxter home health families. Our nurses, therapists, aides, social workers, and office staff all helped make sure that those who may be facing health challenges could still enjoy the warmth and comfort of a holiday meal.

These homemade dishes are more than food—they’re a reminder that our patients are part of our Baxter Health family. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve, to support, and to bring a little extra joy to the homes of those we care for.

Wishing all of our patients and families a safe, healthy, and heart-filled Thanksgiving. 🏡🦃💙

Baxter Health Home Health—Caring for our community, one home at a time.

For over two decades we have solemnly recognized this day for what it is and what it means for our country, but with preceding events, offers us a chance for even more solidarity and an opportunity to recognize the need for strength with compassion for our fellow man.

Throwback Thursday - Dr. Jonathan Letterman - considered the father of the United States Emergency Medical Services.

As late as the Civil War, standard practice was to wait for a battle to end before tending to the injured. Often, it would take days to remove the wounded, resulting in horrific suffering and many avoidable deaths.

In 1862, Major Jonathan Letterman established the U.S. Ambulance Corps within the Army of the Potomac to triage wounded on active battlefields rather than retrieving them after battle ended. Based on its success in saving lives, the Ambulance Corps was adopted throughout the Union Army.
