St. Bernards Clopton Clinic

St. Bernards Healthcare is a leading regional, nonprofit health system based in Jonesboro, Arkansas, guided by a faith-based mission of providing Christ-like healing to all in the communities we serve. Founded in 1900 by the Olivetan Benedictine Sisters, St. Bernards Healthcare has grown from a small six-room hospital into an integrated system of care serving 23 counties across Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri.

At the heart of the system is St. Bernards Medical Center, a 450+ bed acute-care hospital and the largest referral center in the region. The Medical Center is home to a Level III Trauma Center, the region’s only Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), advanced surgical and critical care services, comprehensive heart and vascular care, cancer services, and a wide range of medical and surgical specialties. Continued investments in facilities and technology support high-quality, patient-centered care across the continuum.

A cornerstone of St. Bernards’ outpatient and specialty care is St. Bernards Clopton Clinic, a large, multi-specialty clinic located in Jonesboro. Clopton Clinic brings together a broad range of services under one roof, fostering collaboration and continuity of care. Specialties located at Clopton Clinic include internal medicine, pulmonology, nephrology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, and additional subspecialty services.

St. Bernards Clopton Clinic is also home to the St. Bernards Internal Medicine Residency Program, creating a dynamic academic environment with opportunities for teaching, mentorship, and collaboration with residents. Physicians who enjoy education and shaping the next generation of physicians will find meaningful opportunities to engage in graduate medical education while maintaining a strong clinical practice.

Physicians at St. Bernards value the collegial medical staff, strong administrative support, modern facilities, and a built-in referral network across the health system. The organization supports both employed and independent physicians and encourages long-term practice growth, professional fulfillment, and leadership development.

Jonesboro offers an outstanding quality of life for physicians and their families, with affordable housing, minimal commute times, excellent public and private schools, Arkansas State University, a growing arts and dining scene, and abundant outdoor recreation. Families appreciate the welcoming, close-knit community and the opportunity to build lasting roots.

At St. Bernards, physicians are more than providers — they are leaders, partners, and trusted members of the community. We are committed to supporting clinical excellence, personal well-being, and a mission-driven culture where physicians and their families can thrive.
