Baptist Health Community Outreach, in partnership with the Arkansas Foodbank, announced the "Food Is Medicine" initiative, providing free health screenings and education to residents across several Arkansas communities.
The program utilizes the Baptist Health Mobile Health Unit to meet Arkansas residents where they are, offering vital health services directly at local food pantries.

The mobile health unit will be available at the following locations and times:
