Our Story

The mission of Hope Cancer Resources is to provide compassionate, professional cancer support and education in the Northwest Arkansas region today and tomorrow. Our vision is to provide hope and enhance the quality of life by expanding prevention, wellness, and comprehensive cancer support services in our region.

Hope Cancer Resources employs a highly professional staff which includes licensed oncology social workers, two certified tobacco treatment specialists, one who is also certified as a personal trainer and cancer exercise specialist. We provide transportation to take patients to every cancer treatment as needed as well as education to help a patient during and after their treatment. Financial assistance is provided for prescription medications, nutritional supplements, dental care, gas cards, as well as everyday living expenses to alleviate some of the financial stress a patient and their family may face.

Believing emotional support is essential for healthy survivorship, we offer counseling services ranging from a kind word or listening ear to one-on-one, couples, or family counseling sessions with a licensed mental health professional. Hope Cancer Resources also provides emotional support in group settings.

In addition, Hope Cancer Resources will impact the community by providing cancer prevention education for public schools, churches, businesses, and civic organizations in our region. Prevention education includes sun and UV safety, skin wellness, tobacco prevention and cessation, and informational seminars on the basics of cancer and healthy lifestyle behaviors to lower cancer risk.

Our Wellness Center for Hope is designed to enhance the quality of life in survivors and caregivers by restoring physical activity, optimizing nutrition and healthy weight, and developing healthy behaviors and lifestyles.

The programs of Hope Cancer Resources are funded in part through grants, special events, corporate and individual donations as well as the Hope Cancer Resources Foundation.

Our Values


Our History
In September 2009, Northwest Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute (NARTI) and HOPE, Inc. merged their patient support and community outreach services to become Hope Cancer Resources. By bringing these two organizations together, the boards of directors created an entirely new organization to provide cancer support and education to the communities in Northwest Arkansas.
