All of the medical professionals and staff that make up CARTI are unified around a singular vision: to be the destination for cancer treatment in Arkansas. An independent, not-for-profit organization, CARTI receives more than 90,000 patient visits each year from every county in the state, as well as from across the country.

 

CARTI is disrupting the traditional standards of care delivery in order to make trusted cancer care accessible for every patient. Instead of expecting patients to travel far out of their way seeking treatment, the medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists and additional medical providers at CARTI deliver the world’s most advanced techniques to patients in their own communities. 

 

Everyone at CARTI knows how critical it is to lean into the latest and most effective methods of cancer treatment and to avoid getting bogged down in outdated standards of care. Just because something has always been done doesn’t make it the only path to healing, especially in an ever-evolving field like cancer treatment. 

 

In spring 2023, CARTI will open Arkansas’s first cancer-focused surgery center. The on-site CARTI Surgery Center, with its extended stay capabilities, will offer a more convenient and comprehensive alternative for patients in order to enhance patient experiences and outcomes.

 

In addition to leading-edge, expert treatment, CARTI’s professionals always prioritize the human side of health care. To help deal with the myriad of fears and uncertainties that follow a cancer diagnosis, CARTI’s resource coordinators provide specialized services designed to facilitate treatment and improve quality of life for the patient and their families. Areas of assistance for those who qualify include housing and transportation, as well as financial, emotional and nutritional counseling.

 

At CARTI, innovation goes hand in hand with compassion. Not everyone can handle such a strenuous field of work, but the team at CARTI is a special group, dedicated and called to serve Arkansans everywhere. No matter where, no matter how – people are CARTI’s purpose.
