As Medical Director of Arkansas Cannabis Clinic, I want to take this opportunity to reassure the public that ARCC has taken extraordinary measures to protect our patients, and our staff from potential coronavirus exposure.

Firstly, we have implemented a comprehensive screening assessment during all patient communication to identify symptomatic patients and to reschedule them for when they have recovered from any illness.

Patients with Exposure and/or Symptoms are Rescheduled

We also ask about potential exposures to sick family members, recent travel, and other high-risk activity and reschedule patients appropriately at a later time. On appointment day, we are actively rescheduling patients who present at check in with any cold or flu symptoms. Since we are NOT a sick clinic , our patients are unlikely to come in when they are symptomatic, and we stop them even if they are. Other clinics are combined family practice clinics and they mix cannabis patients with sick patients---This is not the case with AR Cannabis Clinic. We ONLY do marijuana certifications, so our patients tend not to come when they are feeling unwell--they go to their family doctor instead or an ER.









Secondly, we screen our team members and provide work leave when necessary at no risk of job loss.

Our call center staff are isolated and asked to work from home for safety

With the largest dedicated clinic Staff of over 30+ team members across the state, we are well equipped to give time off to those who need it, with extra help ready to step into any void. We require daily early morning check-ins for all team members by management where team members are asked how they are feeling and if they have any sick exposures before they are allowed to come to work. Our call center is distributed across the state, with no direct patient contact, so there is always someone answering the phone 7 days per week 8am until 6pm to provide you with the best service and support.













Thirdly, our exam rooms are " social distanced " according to current CDC and federal guidelines to give plenty of room between doctor and patient.

Bentonville, Fort Smith, West Little Rock and Bryant clinics are now featuring air-tight glass windowed consultations with electronic two-way communication between doctor and patient.

This new "windowed" approach will be implemented across all our 12 clinics over the coming weeks. Our clinics are cleaned multiple times throughout the day and after every patient encounter with Lysol wipes and sprays so our clinics are always kept smelling and feeling fresh and clean for every patient who comes in.

We offer online pre-boarding for check-In so your wait time in our lobby is virtually non-existent.
