An institute for Health Transformation in the Heartland

We’re dedicated to transforming health care in the Heartland and across the nation.

What is Whole Health?

A whole health approach puts the patient at the center of a collaborative, preventative, and value-based care model. Whole health considers the needs of the whole person with the goal of preventing disease, improving health outcomes, and sustaining wellness.

What We Do

Heartland Whole Health Institute’s purpose is to lower costs, improve quality, and broaden access to health care in the Heartland by catalyzing new delivery models, using whole health principles, that can be replicated to disrupt the national health care system.

We create and deploy whole-person care models that focus on preventative care, provider collaboration, and patient engagement.

We work to implement value-based payment models that incentivize health care providers for improved outcomes, not quantity of service.

We work to expand regional access to quality health care, particularly specialty care, in Northwest Arkansas.

We leverage research, data, and cutting-edge innovation to transform health care.

We advocate for policies and models supporting health care for all.

Our Home

With deep roots in the Heartland, we’re proud to call Bentonville, Arkansas, home. We are on the Crystal Bridges Campus, home to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and Alice L. Walton School of Medicine.
