October Employees of the Month

Congratulations to our Healthy Connections October Employees of the Month:

  • EAST: JESSICA LAND

  • WEST: AMANDA BARRETT

As Employees of the Month, they are entitled to either a $50 gift card or one day off.

Jessica and Amanda exemplify the Healthy Connections pillars of Excellence, Compassion, and Community. Jessica is the Patient Care Coordinator at the Arkadelphia clinic, while Amanda is the Clinical Support Coordinator in Mena.

Check out what Jessica’s co-workers had to say about her:

  • Jessica is always positive and very personable. She is helpful at all times and knowledgeable and if she does not know something, she doesn’t “pass the buck.” She will find out how to address an issue and handle it accordingly.
  • Jessica is always here with a smile on her face. I have never heard one complaint from her. She is always one of the first to address any mishaps in our office. She will be one of the first to address cleanliness with any accidents that happen. She will always assist with anything asked of her. She is always professional with all aspects of her job. She is an asset to Healthy Connections and a joy to work with.
  • Jessica goes out of her way to make the day special. She is always trying to help someone other than herself, She puts her job first as a patient care coordinator. This office could not run smoothly without her. I nominate her because she puts our patients first.

And what Amanda’s co-workers had to say about her:

  • I wouldn’t have made it through my maternity leave without Amanda picking up a majority of my work. She did a great job and never once complained about the extra workload sent her way. Not only did she make being out possible for me but she kept everything with the providers running smoothly and they did not feel abandoned while I was out. I couldn’t do it without her.
  • Amanda is always very attentive to anything I may need. She is prompt in finding answers to my questions and taking care of anything I need. If I call Amanda, even if I don’t leave a voicemail, she always returns my call. Also, she always follows up with me to ensure my issues are resolved.

Celebrating Nurse Practitioners Week

Happy Nurse Practitioner Week! Did you know that nurse practitioners offer more than 248,000 solutions to strengthening health care for America? NPs are the health care providers of choice for millions of Americans each year, thanks to the high-quality, patient-centered primary, acute and specialty care they provide. NPs order, perform and interpret diagnostic tests and can prescribe medication and other treatments. Thanks again to our nurse practitioners.

Malvern Clinic Moving in December

More exam rooms, state-of-the-art patient experience, convenient location, and Malvern students still get priority scheduling

Dear Healthy Connections Patient:

In 2016, Healthy Connections opened the Malvern clinic to great success at the Malvern School District Wellness Center. It has been our pleasure to serve as your healthcare provider since then. We appreciate and value your trust, and hope you will consider joining us in our new venture.

In order to ensure we continue to provide the best service to you, we are moving to a new location at 900 Martin Luther King Boulevard in Malvern. This location in Teeter Plaza will allow us to better serve the community with more exam rooms and a more patient-friendly, state-of-the-art environment.

Healthy Connections will continue to provide the same primary care/family medical, pediatrics, and mental and behavioral health therapy you have come to expect from us. We do not anticipate your care team changing with our physicians, advanced nurse practitioners, and therapists.  The clinic located at the College of the Ouachitas’ Health Center in Malvern will also remain open and available to see patients.

We were recently honored when Healthy Connections and the Malvern School District were presented with the Whole Child Award by the Arkansas School-Based Health Center initiative. This award is presented to school-based health centers that do a “great job assessing and serving the health, social, personal and emotional needs of students.”

We will continue to be available to care for Malvern School District students, giving them priority scheduling during school hours.

The Healthy Connections Community Health Network will continue to accept Medicaid, including ARKids First, Medicare, and most forms of health insurance. Additionally, we will continue to offer our sliding fee scale for patients without insurance. This sliding fee scale allows many to receive treatment who otherwise would not have been able to afford it.

For now, nothing will change. We will continue to provide high quality medical and behavioral health care at the Malvern School District Wellness Center at 1517 South Main St. At some point in December, we will finalize our moving date.

We encourage you to visit www.healthy-connections.org/malvern for more information. We’ll continue to provide updates there as we make arrangements for our grand opening.

Thank you for choosing Healthy Connections.
