CARTI’s medical experts and staff are unified around a singular vision: to be the cancer treatment destination. An independent, not-for-profit provider, CARTI serves more than 35,000 new patients each year from every county in Arkansas and across the country.
CARTI is disrupting the traditional standards of health care delivery to meet its mission to make trusted cancer care accessible for every patient it serves. Its unparalleled medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists and medical providers offer the world’s most advanced techniques to patients close to their homes and as conveniently as possible—all within a single, coordinated network.
In addition to its 18 locations across the state, CARTI will soon unveil Arkansas’s first cancer-focused surgery center and one of a few nationwide. Located at its flagship Little Rock campus, the 57,000-square-foot CARTI Surgery Center officially opens this spring. The facility will ensure patients can continue their journeys at CARTI, receiving earlier, more convenient surgical care from the medical providers they know and trust. It will include eight private overnight rooms, 12 recovery rooms, 14 pre- and post-op rooms and six large operating rooms, including two with da Vinci Robotic-Assisted Technology. The state-of-the-art facility will also feature an interventional radiology suite, a dedicated cystoscopy room for urology procedures and a minor procedure room.
For CARTI, leading-edge, expert treatment is only one piece of the puzzle. Its team always prioritizes the human side of health care. To help its patients and their families deal with the fear and uncertainties that often accompany a cancer diagnosis, CARTI focuses on equipping patients with knowledge, courage and hope. From support groups to nutritional counseling, it provides specialized services designed to enhance patients’ comfort, improve their quality of life and reduce potential barriers to treatment.
For CARTI, innovation, compassion and purpose go hand in hand. Fighting cancer is a strenuous field of work, but the team at CARTI is dedicated and called to serve its neighbors in need. No matter where, no matter how—people are CARTI’s purpose. When it comes to cancer, CARTI is there to help.
