Between wrapping up medical school and traveling to audition rotations, you have a lot on your plate. To make things easier, we have six single-occupancy rooms available to rent at our Unity Health - Specialty Care campus, four miles from the main hospital.
The rooms are full-sized, newly painted patient rooms with windows, private bathrooms, and locking doors. They are located in a quiet wing of the Specialty Care campus. Each room is furnished with a queen-size bed, rug, reclining chair, desk, office chair, lamp, two bedside tables, an entertainment center with drawers that hold a mini-fridge and microwave, a personal Keurig-type coffee maker, and a locking safe. All bed and bathroom linens are included. Additional amenities include two sets of washers and dryers on-site; a cafeteria (limited hours), and free Wi-Fi.
We rent rooms for $100 a week on a first-come, first-served basis. A $100 deposit is required to reserve a room and the business office can accept cash ($USD), personal checks from a US bank, or credit card payments. If you're interested, contact us at gme@unity-health.org to make a reservation.
Note: Searcy is a small town with a population of approximately 23,000. Uber/Lyft services are unavailable here, so you will need transportation. Also, check-in and check-out are only offered during our business hours, M-F 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and no holidays.
Pictures will be added shortly.
