Programs & Initiatives
As part of our mission to transform health care by reducing costs and improving access, we offer a variety of whole-person focused programs.

Health Coaching
As part of our mission to create scalable preventative health models, we completed a Health Coaching pilot program. In partnership with Community Clinic and Newtopia, this initiative provided 1:1 assistance to 350 participants who were at high risk of developing chronic disease. The results showed how awareness and intervention programs can lower risk – and lower costs for patients and providers.
Educational Programs
We collaborate with partners to develop or facilitate educational programming, geared toward both patients and providers. Additionally, our connection with Alice L. Walton School of Medicine will open the door for initiatives focused on workforce development.
Offerings may include:
- Community health worker training and certification
- Provider professional development
- Curriculum development for medical schools with a whole-health focus
- Medical student professional development
Community Engagement & Other Initiatives
Heartland Whole Health Institute is also a community resource. We offer a range of events and activities that align with our mission. Past and future offerings may include:
- Mental Health First Aid Training in partnership with Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Wellness classes and resources

- Guest speakers on pressing topics related to whole health and value-based care
