EL DORADO - Medical Center of South Arkansas was one of fourteen organizations from across the state to be recognized with an Arkansas Governor's Quality Award during the recent 26th Annual Awards Celebration in Little Rock. Medical Center of South Arkansas received a Challenge Award which is the preliminary point for any organization on the Governor's Quality Award journey. Challenge Award recipients have completed the first of four award levels and are moving toward the fourth and highest level in the state--the Governor's Quality Award for Performance Excellence.

The awards were presented by Governor Asa Hutchinson at a small luncheon where attendance was limited to comply with social distancing protocols. Elaine Butler, MCSA Director of Quality received the award on behalf of Medical Center of South Arkansas.
