Our Story
How it Began
Community Clinic started in 1989 as St. Francis House, NWA, with a simple goal: help people connect to the resources they needed to thrive. As our community’s needs evolved, so did our mission. In 1994, we expanded into healthcare, bringing compassionate, accessible medical care closer to home.
Growing With Our Community
For more than 35 years, Community Clinic has been honored to care for generations of families across Northwest Arkansas. Designated as a Community Health Center in 2004, we’ve grown into a trusted network of 30 clinic locations, serving more than 70,000 patients in 2024 alone.
Care That Sees the Whole Person
We offer more than medical visits. We provide comprehensive, team-based care that supports your whole life. Our services include primary care, pediatrics, women’s health and prenatal care, dental services, behavioral health, sports medicine and rehabilitation, case management, and more.
Close to Home, Rooted in Care
With clinics throughout Washington and Benton counties, and extending into northeast Oklahoma, we make it easier to access quality care and vital support, right in the communities we serve.
Built on Trust and Belonging
Everything we do is grounded in relationships. We listen, we care deeply, and we treat every person with dignity and compassion—because here, you’re not just a patient. You belong.
Executives
Community Clinic is led by a dedicated team committed to compassionate, quality care. What began with a small group of volunteers has grown into an organization of more than 300 full-time healthcare professionals serving our community with purpose and heart.
