Announcing the acquisition of Lake Village Clinic
Chicot Memorial Medical Center is proud to announce that we have purchased and now operate Lake Village Clinic. This acquisition reflects our continued commitment to expanding access to high-quality, local healthcare for our community. The primary care experience our patients know and trust will remain the same, with the added benefit of support and resources from Chicot Memorial Medical Center. We look forward to continuing to serve you — both in the hospital and in the primary care setting.
Announcing new mammography technology!
Chicot Memorial Medical Center is excited to announce an upgrade to our mammography services. Our new 3D imaging technology allows radiologists to examine breast tissue layer by layer, improving clarity and enabling earlier detection. This advancement reduces the need for follow-up visits caused by unclear results, while using only four radiation exposures—half the amount required by many other machines—without compromising image quality.

CHICOT MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Silver Plus quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability.
