Crews Making Progress On Heartland Whole Health Institute
Construction on the Heartland Whole Health Institute is progressing in Bentonville, with over 180 brass fins currently installed along its nearly finished exterior.
Whole Hearted: Founded by Alice Walton in 2019, Heartland Whole Health Institute aims to revolutionize healthcare by focusing on a whole health approach focused on improving outcomes, reducing costs, and expanding access.
The Art of Wellbeing: The 75,000-sq-ft, multi-use office and community space designed by Marlon Blackwell Architects is located on the same campus as Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Alice Walton School of Medicine, which is also under construction.
