Healthy Connections proudly congratulates Zachary Geiling, APRN, on earning two of the top honors at the 2025 Winners Banquet. Geiling was named Man of the Year for the second consecutive year and recognized as Best Medical Provider for the third straight year in the Best of Garland and Saline Counties awards, chosen by readers of The Village Voice in Hot Springs Village. With more than 90,000 votes cast this year, these awards reflect the trust, appreciation, and confidence of the community he serves.
Geiling has been a provider at the Healthy Connections Hot Springs Village Clinic since it opened in 2022. A former U.S. Army Reserves combat medic and travel nurse in COVID-19 crisis areas, he now sees patients of all ages for primary and family care, pediatrics, preventive health services, and addiction treatment (MAT). His patient-centered approach combines compassion, attentiveness, and a focus on long-term wellness.
“This honor is a reflection of the high level of care Zach provides every patient,” said Tony Calandro, CEO of Healthy Connections. “His dedication, compassion, and expertise embody what Healthy Connections stands for, and we are proud to see him recognized by the community once again.”
