About Us

For 50 years, the CARTI Auxiliary has hosted one of Arkansas’ most beloved traditions. Since its debut, Festival of Trees has raised  $12 million in support of CARTI’s mission and our Patient Assistance Program. These funds help provide vital services—like transportation, lodging and nutrition—to patients across the state.

As a not-for-profit, multidisciplinary cancer care provider, CARTI annually treats more than 60,000 patients from all 75 counties in Arkansas and beyond. Our renowned team of experts offer leading-edge medical, radiation and surgical oncology, interventional radiology, clinical research trials, imaging, breast care, urology, and an array of specialty services, including audiology, cancer genetics and risk management, dental care, dietetics and more.

At CARTI, our mission is clear: to make trusted cancer care accessible to every patient we serve through compassion, innovation and purpose. With 18 treatment locations across the state, CARTI is committed to ensuring patients receive compassionate care close to home.
