Welcome from BHCLR

On behalf of the Administration, Faculty and Staff, welcome to Baptist Health College Little Rock.
BHCLR was established in 1920 and offers nine programs of study. Graduates from our programs are
eligible to apply to sit for their respective professional entry examinations for licensure and certification.
We are proud to have extremely competitive student retention, graduate board passage and job placement
rates.

Three aspects of our organization make us a leader in healthcare education.

First, we are proud of the great variety of programs we offer. Our programs include education in patient
care (practical nursing, registered nursing, occupational therapy assistant, nuclear medicine technology,
radiography, sleep technology, and surgical technology) and laboratory roles (histotechnology and
medical laboratory science). Our programs of study vary in length. We offer certificate and diploma
programs, a two-year associate degree and a number of baccalaureate degree programs in affiliation with
partnering colleges and universities. One of our institutional goals is to offer “something for everyone”
interested in a healthcare career.

A second quality in all programs of study that sets us apart is the clinical experience you receive as a
student. In each of our programs, students receive extensive clinical experience that begins early in the
educational process. We are proud to have the reputation of producing graduates equipped with extensive
clinical experiences.

A third unique characteristic of Baptist Health College Little Rock is our commitment to the overall
mission and vision of Baptist Health. The Baptist Health mission places special emphasis on the values
of:

Service - Honesty - Respect - Stewardship - Performance

In addition, the vision of our organization places special emphasis on Christian values, high quality
services, and continuous improvement.

Thank you for choosing our institution for your educational needs.

Judy Ingram Pile, Ed.D.
Chancellor
