Friends of Free Health Giving Circles

Your support will help us cover annual operating expenses and provide direct, free medical and dental care to our low-income families.

Your gift to WelcomeHealth benefits our most vulnerable residents in need of quality healthcare and enhances the strength and health of our entire community. Healthy people make better students, better parents, better employees and better neighbors; your support is an investment to improve quality of life for everyone in Northwest Arkansas!

From its inception in 1986, the Northwest Arkansas Free Health Center, founded by Ms. Jessie Bryant and dental volunteer Dr. JB Hays, was intended to be the answer to costly medical expenses and painful toothaches. Patients are seen free of charge regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.

We encourage you to consider the well-being of Northwest Arkansas and the lack of affordable medical and dental care, and make an annual commitment to support WelcomeHealth. Your investment will help us meet current and anticipate future needs for quality, affordable healthcare. We need you!

An annual statement will be sent to the address of choice for your tax records. WelcomeHealth is the only free medical clinic and one of only three free dental clinics in NWA. Funding for our vital community services comes directly from generous individuals such as you. WelcomeHealth is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization, and all contributions are tax-deductible.

For more information, please contact Evan Clower at (479) 225-5111 or evan@welcomehealthnwa.org.
