The University of Central Arkansas recently announced the rebranding of the Community Care Clinic at the Interprofessional Teaching Center on campus with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The Community Care Clinic (CCC) offers a comprehensive range of services focused on whole-person care, which includes a sliding scale to meet all patient needs. The CCC services are available to all residents of Faulkner County and surrounding areas.
“We emphasize preventive care, chronic disease management, and health education, aiming to meet the diverse health and wellness needs of the Conway community and surrounding areas,” said Chad Lairamore, director of the CCC. “We aim to make health care accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation.”
The clinic is staffed by a team of professionals including nurse practitioners, mental health counselors, dieticians, occupational and physical therapists, care coordinators and administrative staff. The staff also works closely with students from various health-related programs at UCA including physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, dietetics, mental health and more. These students gain hands-on experience under the supervision of experienced and licensed staff, contributing to a collaborative and dynamic care environment.
“The community benefits greatly from having the Community Care Clinic at UCA, as it provides accessible, high-quality health care services in a convenient location. Our focus on whole-person care means that patients receive coordinated, comprehensive care tailored to their individual needs all under one roof,” Lairamore said.
By providing services through the Interpersonal Teaching Center, the CCC can focus on providing direct patient care to the community, offering a wide range of clinical services.
The Interpersonal Teaching Center is focused on educational initiatives and serves as a hub for interprofessional education and collaboration among UCA students and faculty. Both are located in the Integrated Health Sciences Building located at Western Avenue and Bruce Street.
