Dr. Bradley Biggers to Transition to Hospitalist and Family Practice at BCMC Rural Health Clinic


Bradley County Medical Center is pleased to announce that Bradley Biggers, M.D., will move into a dual role on March 1 as hospitalist and begin seeing patients in the primary care setting at the BCMC Rural Health Clinic.

Dr. Biggers, a staple at BCMC since 2017, will make rounds on patients in the hospital on Monday through Friday as the hospitalist. Additionally, he will go back to his roots as a family practice provider at the BCMC Rural Health Clinic and be available to see patients Monday through Thursday.

This strategic move will improve the continuity of care in the hospital with the same provider seeing patients five days a week allowing them to see consistent, high-quality care from Dr. Biggers. Another benefit of this role is that it enhances access to primary care for the people of Bradley County and Southeast Arkansas as Dr. Biggers returns to family practice.

“We are pleased to be able to expand primary care services with the addition of Dr. Biggers to the Rural Health Clinic,” BCMC CEO/CFO Leslie Huitt said. “He will join Dr. Gregory, along with our amazing nurse practitioners to provide high quality care. In addition, we believe that having Dr. Biggers care for our hospital patients will improve the quality of care for our patients by having the same provider for the majority of their stay, if not their entire stay.”
