The ARcare Foundation’s mission is to promote wellness for all Arkansans, no matter where they are, who they are, or what opportunities they’ve had so far. Wellness takes many forms, and we strive to promote all of them. By developing a set of clear objectives, we leave no stone unturned in our efforts to provide community support throughout Arkansas. These objectives include:
Education
Education is the bedrock of every form of wellness. The better one’s education, the easier it is to live a healthy life, get a job, and take proper care of your loved ones. We thus offer a host of services to promote education. These include reading lessons, early learning classes, adult education classes, before and after school events, scholarships, and a school-based health clinic. We also provide eye exams and learning disability assessments so that if there is any barrier to your child getting a good education, you can recognize and correct it.
Transportation
One of the greatest barriers to accessing medical care in rural Arkansas is transportation. We ensure that everyone can get the care they need by coordinating van services to and from the most remote communities.
Wellness
The ARcare Foundation offers cancer care, diabetes management, health education, fitness programs, and countless other services to help people understand and improve their health. From treating existing diseases to preventing future ones, we keep Arkansans of all ages as healthy as possible.
Economic Development
The more economic opportunities there are, the easier it is for you and your family to pay for care. We thus work with local businesses and chambers of commerce to promote economic growth and extend job opportunities to as many workers as possible. We also provide direct employment from our 50+ facilities throughout the state.
