Synergy Saturday

02/22/2026

Grateful for this spotlight on Synergy Saturday from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette / ArkansasOnline.com.

What you see here is simple but powerful: neighbors serving neighbors — free screenings, health education, and patient navigation with no insurance barriers.

This is “street medicine at its best,” and it happens because of volunteers, students, and community partners who show up with love every Saturday.

Thank you to reporter Charlotte de Arantes Oliveira and videographer Hayden Tursky for capturing the heart behind the work.

Come see us. Come serve. Come get screened.

Walk in. Get checked. Know your numbers. Leave empowered.

We bring screenings, education, and patient navigation directly to the community — helping reverse poor health and poverty.

Synergy Saturday is a weekly pop-up wellness event that offers experiential learning, free health screening, and patient navigation services to reverse poor health and poverty. We also connect healthcare professionals to the communities they serve to close care gaps and improve health outcomes.

Chronic disease steals: time income productivity lives ER visits cost thousands. Prevention costs pennies. Too many families are forced to choose between food, medicine, or rent. ​We believe they...

Honoring Dr. Jessica Lawson | Black History Month ✨
This Black History Month, we are honored to highlight Dr. Jessica Lawson. She is a Pharmacy Director at CareSource and a UAMS College of Pharmacy alumna. She’s also from Magnolia, Arkansas, and was involved in SNPhA during her time as a student.
I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Lawson through an AMDPA event, and I’m truly grateful for how openly she shared her journey and poured into me. She started her career in retail pharmacy, and her first step into managed care came through a clinical pharmacist opportunity with Medicaid—where she worked on prior authorizations and helped build formularies. From there, her experience continued to grow across different areas of managed care.
One thing she said that I’ll carry with me is: “I want to be that bridge between the doctor and the patient… where it all comes together and makes sense.”
Thank you, Dr. Lawson, for being a light, for representing excellence, and for inspiring students like me to keep going and keep building connections. 🙏🏾❤️

Proud to hear this update today. Encouraging and inspiring message. Little Rock’s strength comes from Mayor Scott, and its leaders, who focus on safety, opportunity, and quality of life for every resident. Grateful to play a small part alongside so many committed partners. The best is ahead.

As we continue serving families through Synergy Saturday, we see firsthand how a strong economy, safer neighborhoods, and quality-of-life investments change lives. Excited to keep working together to help the City of Little Rock, AR, grow even stronger.

Community is built through partnership.

Huge thanks to Erik Guzman and the incredible team at Preferred Research Partners, Inc., for volunteering with Synergy Saturday during our Free Health Screenings.

Clinical expertise + compassion + service = real impact.

This is how we close gaps in health — together.

If your organization wants to volunteer or partner, we’d love to welcome you next Saturday.

Love isn’t just flowers and cards — sometimes it's the quiet choices that keep our homes safe. Clearing out unused or expired prescriptions reduces the chances of misuse and keeps loved ones protected.
