Vision 2030: A Roadmap For Health Care Transformation In Northwest Arkansas

Last week, the Northwest Arkansas Council and Heartland Whole Health Institute shared Northwest Arkansas Health Care Vision 2030, a report outlining progress and future goals to transform health care in the region amid its rapid population growth.

• Current Progress: Since 2019, the region has reduced patient outmigration by $255M and boosted the healthcare sector’s economic impact by 80%. It is now on track to reach $6.1B by 2030. Major investments, including $529.5M in healthcare infrastructure, have laid a strong foundation for future growth.

• Future Goals: Vision 2030 aims to expand specialty care in the region, grow the healthcare workforce through new training programs like the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine, foster research and innovation, and establish Northwest Arkansas as a leader in value-based care and healthcare innovation.
