Bentonville will see the creation of the Crystal Bridges Campus and a recently announced 100-acre campus aiming to transform health and wellness.
Alice Walton, the billionaire heiress of Walmart, has announced plans to transform healthcare in Bentonville, Arkansas, through her initiative, the Whole Health Institute. This project aims to integrate various aspects of health including physical, mental, and social well-being, with a focus on preventive care and community health. The initiative includes the development of a new medical campus that will not only provide comprehensive care but also serve as a hub for health research, education, and innovation. Walton's vision is to create a model that could potentially be replicated in other communities, emphasizing a holistic approach to health that goes beyond traditional medical treatment to include lifestyle, nutrition, and community support systems. This ambitious project is part of her broader philanthropy efforts, which also encompass art and education, aiming to make Bentonville a beacon of health transformation.
