David Orr and Representative Aaron Pilkington of ARcare
When Dr. Steven Collier created ARcare, a nonprofit, federally qualified health center (FQHC) with discounted rates, he shared the mandate to serve “the least, the last, and the lost." ARcare focuses on providing healthcare to all, regardless of a patient's ability to pay. On this final episode of season 2 of the CDI Podcast, Director of the ARcare Foundation David Orr and Vice President of Operations Representative Aaron Pilkington share ARcare's mission, vision, and why they believe health is a crucial piece of community and economic development.
