Mercy Marian Center

A new chapter in primary care is coming to Northwest Arkansas.

Mercy is proud to open the new Mercy Primary Care Clinic at the heart of Alice L. Walton School of Medicine on the Crystal Bridges Campus, creating a space where whole-person care, innovation and medical education come together.

Beginning Nov. 23, patients age 18 and older will have access to preventive care, annual wellness visits, management of ongoing conditions, immunizations, labs and more.

We're also excited to welcome Dr. Stephanie Sargent, a physician whose background in family medicine and behavioral health reflects the clinic's focus on caring for the whole person.

Appointments are now being scheduled.

Lucas has been beating the odds since the day he was born at just 24 weeks.

As a baby, doctors discovered bleeding on both sides of his brain. The bleeding eventually resolved, but Lucas’s neurological journey continued. Years later, testing showed seizure activity on the right side of his brain and he began treatment for a seizure disorder.

Since then, Lucas has faced seizures alongside countless other medical challenges, including chronic lung disease, multiple surgeries and long hospital stays. Through it all, he’s continued reaching milestones his family once wasn’t sure would be possible, from taking his first steps to breathing on his own.

On , Lucas’s story is a reminder that stroke and brain injury can affect even the youngest patients, and symptoms often look different than they do in adult patients. Remember, if you suspect someone is having a stroke, every second counts! Call 911 immediately or go to your nearest ER.

We’re grateful to have been nominated for a 2026 Mid-America Regional Emmy® Award! While our video didn’t take home the award, we’re honored that our social media team’s work to raise awareness about federal cuts to rural health care received this recognition. Helping communities understand issues that could affect their access to care is work that matters!

“It was a complete misnomer the whole time.”

Dr. Catherine Hutz told Leader Publications how renaming Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) to the more accurate Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) could lead to better care for the 1 in 10 women living with this hormonal disorder.

“When they changed the name to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, I feel like this encompasses a lot more of the concerns that I have for women who have this condition. I have to think about from the lifespan of what about your risk for diabetes, what about managing your obesity, your high insulin levels.

These are all also important concerns, and I hope that by getting the name changed, not only do patients hopefully move away from thinking, ‘Oh, this means I had a cyst on my ovary’ to more about thinking about what this means for them as a person trying to achieve the greatest health that they can in their lives.”
