    125 Years - The People of St. Bernards: Alan and Guy Patteson

    2025 represents a milestone for St. Bernards Healthcare: 125 years of providing continuous, unwavering care to the people of northeast Arkansas. Our next two episodes will highlight individuals who have given decades of volunteer work to make the healthcare system what it is today. As you'll discover, some even found themselves making it their life's work. In our first episode, we're introduced to Alan Patteson and his son Guy, both of whom have spent time on the board of directors at St. Bernards. But their service and devotion to the region run much deeper than a spot on the board. They're building a place to call "home." https://1900.stbernards.info
