As part of our growing marketing and communications team, you’ll play a vital role in connecting patients across Arkansas to quality healthcare services they might not even know exist. You’ll design. You’ll create. You’ll inspire action. Most importantly, you’ll help make real change happen.

This isn’t just another marketing job. It’s an opportunity to grow, to be heard, and to make your work truly meaningful.


About Healthy Connections

This position may be based at any Healthy Connections clinic location in Arkansas, depending on available office space. This is a full-time (40 hours/week) role with a consistent schedule, but some evenings, weekends, and travel will be required.

  • You’re uncomfortable traveling or working the occasional evening/weekend
  • You aren’t confident speaking to groups or representing the brand in public
