This honor is a true reflection of his dedication, leadership, and passion for patient care. Wishing him continued success in this well-deserved role—we know great things are ahead!

Congratulations to our psychiatry chief resident, Dr. Tyler White, and our associate chief residents, Dr. Chandni Patel and Dr. Carol Vong! We are so proud and cannot wait to see what this dynamic leadership team can achieve!

✨ A new space. A long-held vision. A stronger response for survivors. ✨

We are proud to share that Family Crisis Center’s Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) program has officially relocated to a stand-alone center at 511 W. Monroe in Jonesboro.

This space was created with survivors in mind—offering a warm, trauma-informed environment where forensic exams can be completed outside of a hospital setting, and where survivors can meet with an advocate for ongoing support and healing, if they choose.

Survivors do not have to be recent victims to receive services. Individuals are welcome to meet with an advocate to talk through past trauma, explore resources, and receive support—whenever they are ready.

🩵Open and serving adults 18+
🩵 Walk-ins welcome
🩵24/7 Crisis Hotline: 870-933-9449

A grand opening and ribbon cutting will take place on April 22nd during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, but services are available now. More details regarding the grand opening will be announced at a later date.
