Global Health Impact, Rooted in Community
The 154,000 square-foot School of Medicine will be located on 14-acres of green space with a clinic on-site, state-of-the-art simulation center, healing gardens, and the largest green roof in Arkansas, bringing together nature, art, innovation, and well-being to create an inspiring learning environment for students and the community.
The connected campus of Crystal Bridges and the future Alice L. Walton School of Medicine include an innovative building for Heartland Whole Health Institute and Art Bridges Foundation as well. The vision is to provide space for healing and learning – where museum visitors, medical students, and the community can find inspiration in nature, shaping and improving the quality of our lives.
Heartland Whole Health Institute and the School of Medicine are separate nonprofit organizations with one founder and a shared mission of bridging the gaps to better health, together. Through a whole-health centered approach, the two teams will work closely for better health outcomes, reduced health care costs, and to advance how medical education is taught and health care is delivered.
Alice L. Walton School of Medicine and Heartland Whole Health Institute will improve health in the region and serve as a model for health care transformation across the country.
