Following guidance from the Arkansas Department of Health, the ACMC Wellness Center will be conducting a soft opening on Monday, May 4th. During the soft opening only Ashley County residents and Ashley County Medical Center employees will be allowed access to the Wellness Center. There will be no classes for the first week, but we hope to start offering them soon. Below are precautions we will be taking to help keep our staff and participants safe.

Screening must be completed on entry for all staff and participants. Those who have any of the following characteristics should NOT be allowed to enter:

  • Have a cough, difficulty breathing, sore throat, or loss of taste or smell;
