Who We Are

At Circle of Life, we put the needs of our patients and their families first, providing comfort and care in the right place, at the right time. As a non-profit organization serving Northwest Arkansas, we are recognized for our compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to exceptional, personalized care. Every life is honored with grace, dignity, and respect.

honoring the Past, Inspiring the future

Our Legacy

Our story began in 1992 when a small group of visionaries recognized the deep need for compassionate end-of-life care, delivered with dignity and respect. From that vision, we've expanded to meet the growing needs of our region, serving patients and families in the places they call home, as well as in our hospice homes.

The values that inspired our beginning—honoring life, offering comfort, and serving with compassion—remain at the heart of everything we do and continue to guide our mission into the future.
