Fayetteville Setting

Ground was broken on the current 10-acre site of Vista Health located at 4253 Crossover Road in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on May 10, 1982. The doors of Charter Vista Hospital opened for business in April of 1983.

The facility was originally part of the Charter Medical Corporation and was the first private freestanding behavioral health hospital in the state of Arkansas.

In 1988 Charter Vista Hospital opened their first satellite outpatient clinic in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It is still located at the original site at 3800 Rogers Avenue. In 1998 an additional outpatient clinic was opened in Harrison, Arkansas to serve the Harrison/Mountain Home area and is currently located on Main Street in Harrison.

On September 1, 2000 Charter Vista Hospital was purchased by Texarkanna Behavioral Health Associates and renamed Vista Health. The senior management team, Medical and Professional staff was retained and continue in place today. Without the burden of the Charter corporate structure, Vista Health has been able to grow and take advantage of the opportunities that the marketplace offers. In September 2002, Vista Health opened another outpatient clinic in Bentonville, Arkansas
