We had a wonderful day in Waldron! 🎉
Yesterday, River Valley Primary Care Services (RVPCS) had the privilege of celebrating the ribbon cutting for Waldron Family Clinic & Waldron Community Dental with an incredible crowd of patients, families, community members, local leaders, partners, and friends. 🏥✂️
Seeing so many people come out to support this investment in Waldron meant so much to our entire RVPCS team.
For those who may not know, RVPCS is a locally rooted, Arkansas-founded nonprofit healthcare organization that has been serving communities across the River Valley for decades. Our mission has always been centered around making quality healthcare accessible and keeping care close to home. We are proud to be part of the communities we serve, and Waldron has been an important part of the RVPCS family for generations. 🏠
Yesterday was a reflection of that long-standing relationship and the community partnerships that make this work possible.
👏 Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the celebration such a success!

🏗️ A Special Thank-You to Our Construction Partners
We are grateful to Circle M Construction and Architecture Plus for their work on the new Waldron facility. From the design and planning to construction, their work helped turn this vision into a space where our teams can continue caring for local families. 🏥🔨
A special shout-out to Adriana Lacey for helping bring everyone together!
💻 And to our IT team, thank you!
There is a tremendous amount of work that happens behind the scenes to get a new healthcare facility ready. Our IT team put in the work to get the technology, connectivity, systems, and equipment in place so our staff could walk into a building ready to serve patients. We appreciate everything that went into making that happen!
☕ And thank you to Atlas Coffee Company!
We were proud to support another local Waldron business by having Atlas Coffee Company, located in downtown Waldron, provide our coffee station for the event. It was the perfect way to welcome everyone and add another local touch to the celebration. ☕
Most importantly, thank you, Waldron.
Thank you for trusting RVPCS, supporting our team, and continuing to welcome us as part of this community. From the care we provide today to the dental services now available and the pharmacy services coming in the future, we are proud to continue investing in the health and well-being of Waldron and the surrounding communities. 🏥🦷💊
We’ve been here for decades, and we’re proud to keep being here for Waldron.
Here’s to many more years of caring for our neighbors, families, and friends right here at home. 🏠
