HEALTH CARE

20 23

It’s conceivable for a person in this age of technology to subsist without many modern necessities. Insurance, banking, education... Not easy, nor advisable. But conceivable. There’s one industry, however, that impacts us all, whether we want it to or not: health care. It’s at the crux of what it is to be human. At some point, even hermits living truly off the grid will have to self-administer health care in one form or another.

In its August issue, AMP looks at health care in Arkansas — how leaders are working to fill in the gaps in health care coverage that turn rural areas into “deserts”; the growth of cancer care in the state at institutions like CARTI and the partnership between UAMS and Baptist Health; what to expect from the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine taking shape in Bentonville; a list of administrators at the state’s largest hospitals, and much more.
