Together, they have a combined network of providers across the state of Arkansas, representing comprehensive primary and specialty care for both adult and pediatric patients.

As CINs, AHN, ACCN, and NH are working with patients and providers around the state to achieve the Triple Aim: Better Health and Well-being, Decreased Cost and Improved Patient Experience.
