Patient First
Patients First PAC champions Arkansas patients by advocating for accessible, local, and patient-centered healthcare. We stand with independent providers to fight corporate middlemen and broken systems that prioritize profits over care. Through advocacy, education, and support for pro-patient lawmakers, we ensure healthcare decisions stay with Arkansans and their doctors. Our mission is clear: healthy communities, independent care, one Arkansas.
