The medical experts and staff at CARTI are unified around a singular vision: to be the cancer treatment destination. An independent, not-for-profit provider, CARTI serves more than 50,000 new patients each year from every county in the state, as well as from across the country.
CARTI is disrupting the traditional standards of care delivery in order to make trusted cancer care accessible for every patient. Instead of expecting patients to travel far out of their way to seek treatment, the medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, and all other medical providers at CARTI deliver the world’s most advanced techniques to patients in their own communities.
In 2023, CARTI opened Arkansas’ first cancer-focused surgery center, adding to its single, coordinated network of 18 care locations across the state. Located at the flagship Little Rock campus, the 57,000-square-foot CARTI Surgery Center — featuring extended-stay capabilities and minimally invasive da Vinci Robotic-Assisted Technology — offers a more convenient and comprehensive alternative for patients while enhancing patient experiences and outcomes.
In addition to leading-edge, expert treatment, CARTI also prioritizes the human side of health care. The Bridge — CARTI’s recently completed resource and support center — helps patients and families deal with the myriad of fears and uncertainties that occur during any stage of a cancer journey. Patient navigators, counselors, advocates and facilitators provide direct resources, specialized workshops and a host of support services designed to improve quality of life for patients and their families. Areas of assistance include transportation, lodging, physical therapy, prosthetics and orthotics, massage therapy, patient mentorship, live cooking demonstrations, a salon and appearance center, numerous support groups, and more.
At CARTI, innovation goes hand in hand with compassion. Not everyone can handle such a strenuous field of work, but the team at CARTI is a special group, dedicated and called to serve Arkansans everywhere. No matter where, no matter how — people are CARTI’s purpose.
