A History of Growth and Service
In 1920, Cooper Clinic was founded on the sixth floor of First National Bank,
in downtown Fort Smith. Dr. St. Cloud Cooper, for whom the clinic was named,
and seven other physicians comprised the total staff. Patterned after
the Mayo Clinic, our multi-specialty physician group was formed to provide
improved patient care. That same purpose and corporate structure has continued for over 90 years.
