CABUN Rural Health Services is deeply committed to giving back to the communities we serve. Beyond offering essential primary healthcare services to all individuals in need, we actively engage in various initiatives to support and uplift our local communities. In many areas, we provide school physicals and collaborate with local schools on extracurricular activities, ensuring students have the support they need. We also partner with church programs to promote healthy living for all community members. Additionally, our staff volunteers on community boards across the counties we serve, ensuring no one is left behind in our mission to foster a healthier Arkansas.

Our History
CABUN’s leaders made the decision to become a community health center in 1977 so that we could serve as a “safety net” for rural communities to ensure that no one who needs healthcare is denied access. We believe that healthy communities are the essence of American life.
The direction CABUN has taken in the last few years is a visible expression of the unswerving commitment we have to the Arkansas communities we serve. Our partnerships with local businesses and concerned citizen groups, as well as our participation in community development activities, speak to our ongoing commitment to provide affordable health for all in Arkansas.
