CHI St. Vincent Morrilton is a huge asset to my community. Being from this community, I take pride in what we do here at St. Vincent Morrilton. The family atmosphere and friendli- ness offers an open environment.
WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER TO BE MORRILTON’S HIDDEN GEM?
Our community college is truly a hidden gem, or maybe not so hidden anymore. The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton has grown.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO IN MORRILTON WHEN YOU HAVE A DAY OFF?
My favorite thing to do in Morrilton when I’m off is ride my motorcycle to Petit Jean.
