WelcomeHealth: Northwest Arkansas' Free Health Center

WelcomeHealth: Northwest Arkansas' Free Health Center Northwest Arkansas' premier free health center! We are here for the uninsured and underinsured who are in need of quality healthcare at no-cost.

When we first opened the doors of the Northwest Arkansas Free Health Center in 1986 in South Fayetteville, it was for one purpose: to welcome all residents of Northwest Arkansas with consistent, quality healthcare. We were determined to make certain that there were no barriers, financial or otherwise, to that welcome. Our name changed to WelcomeHealth in 2015. We moved to our current facility on W

oolsey Avenue to accommodate the need for more services and space. We are excited about these changes and how they have improved our patients’ experience, but our mission remains the same. All are welcome here, all are treated with respect and dignity and all receive the best care available. We are here for the uninsured, underinsured and the insured. You can rest assured that we will welcome you regardless of your ability to pay or insurance status. All must meet our income guidelines (cannot make more than 200% above federal poverty level), and that criteria can be determined by a quick call to our helpful front desk staff.

🎹 Cue the ivories and warm up those vocal cords: Beer & Hymns is celebrating Piano Legends this April!

From powerhouse ballads to all-time-favorite singalongs, we’ll raise our glasses and our voices to the songs that have carried generations, and sound even better when a crowd of people sings them together.

This month, we’re supporting WelcomeHealth, a nonprofit providing free medical care to neighbors right here in our community. They make sure folks can get the care they need with dignity, compassion, and respect, no insurance required.

All ages, all voices, all vibes welcome. Events are free to attend, donations encouraged. 100% of what you give goes straight to WelcomeHealth.

Beer & Hymns brings people together to raise our glasses, raise our voices, and raise funds for organizations that make Northwest Arkansas a healthier, kinder place to call home. 🍻

Our Story

When we first opened the doors of the Northwest Arkansas Free Health Center in 1986 in South Fayetteville, it was for one purpose: to welcome all low-income residents of Northwest Arkansas with consistent, quality health care. We were determined to make certain that there were no barriers, financial or otherwise, to that welcome. Our name changed to WelcomeHealth in 2015. We moved to a newly rennovated facility on Woolsey Avenue with twice as many exam rooms, as well as a community room. We are excited about these changes and how they have improved our patients’ experience, but our mission remains the same. All who qualify are welcome here, all are treated with respect and dignity and all receive the best healthcare available. We are here for the uninsured, underinsured and the insured alike. You can rest assured that we will welcome you regardless of your ability to pay!
