Access to healthcare shouldn’t depend on how far you’re able to travel—but for many patients across Arkansas, that has often been the reality.
In this episode of Connected, we sit down with Dr. Leslie Ward, a primary care physician in Arkansas with Healthy Connections, to talk about expanding access to care and what it means for patients and communities. From primary care services to HIV prevention, Hepatitis C treatment, and more, Dr. Ward shares how bringing care closer to home can remove barriers and improve outcomes for patients across the region.
This episode also highlights National Physicians Week, recognizing the physicians who serve our communities every day. Their work strengthens local healthcare, improves lives, and ensures patients receive the care they need—when and where they need it.
