Mercy Health Foundation Northwest Arkansas

Welcome to Mercy Health Foundation! Since 1984, we have helped to provide and enhance health care services, education and medical equipment to our Northwest Arkansas community. And last year alone, Mercy provided $11 million in charity care. We are extremely grateful for the unyielding generosity of our donors!

Our successful $40 million capital campaign to build a new hospital was another recent achievement. Today, we have an outstanding, state-of-the-art facility that sets the standard of care in Northwest Arkansas. Our hospital features advanced technologies like electronic medical records for all patients, telemedicine for intensive care patients and a medication distribution process for patient safety. 

The new hospital is just the beginning of our journey, and I invite you to join us as we continue along our path to bring high-quality health care to our region. There are numerous ways to get involved, and we welcome the assistance of volunteers and donors to fulfill our mission. Please feel free to email or call me — or better yet, stop by my office and I’ll be happy to answer any questions.
