UPDATE ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2025: DUE TO AN ABUNDANCE OF EMAIL REQUESTS, THE ORDER IS NOW FULL AND THIS OPPORTUNITY IS NOW CLOSED. FAULKNER COUNTY OEM WILL NOTIFY THOSE WHO EMAILED AS TO THE STATUS OF THEIR ORDERS!

Original Post: The Faulkner County Office of Emergency Management is providing free reflective address markers during the month of September! Reflective address markers help improve public safety by assisting first responders locate homes more quickly and efficiently during an emergency. All residents of Faulkner County, including residents within city limits, who have a valid address registered in the Faulkner County 911 Addressing Database, are eligible to receive a free reflective address marker. There is a limit of one address marker per residence.

The reflective address markers are being ordered in bulk. These markers are metal (same as county road signs), and they are reflective with a blue background and white lettering. There are no other color options or variations available. Only the marker itself will be supplied, and residents are responsible for purchasing hardware and installing the marker at their driveway themselves. Do not attach the marker to your mailbox unless your mailbox is located directly at your driveway.

Due to cost, only a limited number of markers will be ordered. Markers will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, to those who place an order. Orders will be accepted during the month of September ONLY. No orders will be accepted after the close of business on September 30. Orders will only be accepted when placed in one of the following routes:

1) Email oem@faulknercountyar.gov
For email orders to be valid, they must include all of the following: Name, Phone, Full Address, and Email Address; OR

2) Visit the OEM booth at the Faulkner County Fair

Orders will ONLY be accepted by email or in person at the fair. Orders will not be accepted via telephone under any circumstances.

The Office of Emergency Management will be placing the final bulk order in October. Once that order is placed, it will take approximately 6-8 weeks for delivery. Once the items are received, we will notify citizens via facebook when markers are available for pickup. No markers will be shipped/mailed. All markers must be picked up at the following address:

Faulkner County Office of Emergency Management
57 Acklin Gap Rd, Conway, AR 72032

Thank you for helping us to keep Faulkner County safe!

Conway Regional will remain in network with UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans. A verbal agreement has been reached on a new contract that will take effect on October 1, 2025.

As part of this verbal agreement, an extension has been agreed to through October 1, 2025, ensuring uninterrupted care for patients with UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans. The verbal agreement reflects new terms, and the extension provides time for those terms to be finalized in contract form.

Negotiations began in January 2025 between Conway Regional, along with more than 280 physicians, and the Conway Regional Physician Hospital Organization, and UnitedHealthcare to establish market equity that supports both access to care and the long-term strength of local healthcare.
