Chambers Memorial Hospital in context

CHAMBERS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL is an acute-care hospital in Danville, Arkansas, running as a non-profit hospital. The facility is Medicare-certified under CMS Certification Number 040011, which is the join key across Hospital Compare, MACRA, and most state discharge scorecards.

CMS Hospital Compare assigns this facility an overall rating of 3 of 5 stars — at the national median. On measure groups versus the national rate, the facility is: 3 mortality measures reported with none flagged; 5 readmission measures reported with none flagged. CMS's composite rating weights mortality, safety, readmission, patient experience, and timely & effective care across all reporting measures; it is not stratified by patient race.

Operationally: CHAMBERS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL operates an emergency department (EMTALA-covered, which means it must screen and stabilize any patient regardless of ability to pay).

Statewide context: Arkansas has one of the highest Black maternal mortality ratios in the country per CDC PMSS state-level estimates. UAMS runs the state's only academic medical center and handles most complex obstetric referrals.

For Black patients

If you are a Black patient being seen at CHAMBERS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL in Danville, Arkansas, a few concrete steps:

  • Bring an advocate. National data from CDC's Black maternal mortality review show the single biggest reduction in missed-diagnosis rates comes from a second set of ears in the room — a partner, a doula, a family member. Ask in advance that they be credentialed as a visitor; the hospital cannot turn away a designated support person.
  • If you need ongoing primary care, our Arkansas provider directory filters to physicians who accept Medicaid and speak Spanish / Haitian Creole / ASL where relevant. Filter to your insurance first.
  • If the hospital doesn't take your coverage, the closest Federally Qualified Health Center is listed under our FQHCs in this area. FQHCs serve every patient on a sliding-fee scale regardless of insurance status.
  • For help paying for care, the state Medicaid navigator at /medicaid/arkansas/ explains eligibility, documents, and how to apply (same-day presumptive eligibility for pregnancy).
  • If you are treated dismissively or your pain is ignored, every Medicare-certified hospital is required by CMS Conditions of Participation (42 CFR 482.13) to have a grievance procedure; file in writing and request the CMS regional office contact if the hospital ombuds does not respond within seven days.
