About FHC

History   Founded in 1986, with a mission to provide no-cost health care services to the uninsured, indigent, and working poor of Northwest Arkansas.

The clinic occupies the Armory Building on North College next to the old courthouse.

The clinic operates using volunteer physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, technicians, and lay volunteers, coordinated by a small paid staff. It has 60 medical professional volunteers and 30 lay volunteers (mostly pre-med, pre-dental, and pre-pharmacy students.)

A voluntary Board of Directors governs the Center - Anthony Murphy (president), Dr. Roger Montgomery (medical director), Mark Kidd (treasurer), Dr. Warren Murry, Karolyn Farrell and Kerry Holloway.

Patients come from a very diverse group - from all age categories, genders, and ethnic backgrounds. Most of the clinic's patients live in Washington County.
