About the Clinic

Shepherd’s Hope is a free community healthcare clinic serving uninsured individuals and families in Central Arkansas. Founded in 2006 by a dedicated volunteer provider, Shepherd’s Hope has grown through the support of volunteer healthcare professionals, community partners, and donors.

Our clinic provides access to medical, dental, vision, gynecology, and other essential health services to individuals who may otherwise face barriers to care. Our goal is to connect patients with compassionate, quality healthcare while building a healthier community.
