The Alice L. Walton School of Medicine and Heartland Whole Health Institute

Fayetteville, Arkansas is becoming a hub for innovation in healthcare and education with the introduction of the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine and the Heartland Whole Health Institute. These two nonprofit institutions, while separate, share a mission to transform healthcare and medical education in the region—and beyond.



A Space for Healing and Learning

The 154,000 square-foot Alice L. Walton School of Medicine will be located on a beautiful 14-acre campus, combining state-of-the-art facilities with the power of nature. Featuring a clinic, simulation center, healing gardens, and Arkansas' largest green roof, the campus creates an inspiring environment where students and the community can learn and heal together. The green roof will not only promote sustainability but also offer a tranquil space for relaxation and reflection.


Connecting Art and Medicine

What sets this campus apart is its integration with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Art Bridges Foundation. The proximity of art and healthcare fosters a unique, healing environment that connects creativity with medical learning. Visitors and students will find inspiration from the museum's art collections while benefiting from the health-focused approach of the school and clinic.


A Shared Mission for Better Health

Both the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine and Heartland Whole Health Institute are committed to advancing a whole-health approach. By focusing on the physical, emotional, and social well-being of patients, these institutions aim to improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and transform how healthcare is delivered. The collaboration ensures that medical students receive comprehensive, holistic training.


A Vision for the Future
