Ozarks Healthcare now offers Pediatric Care and accepts ARKids First at Ozarks Healthcare in Gainesville

Families in and around Gainesville now have expanded access to compassionate, comprehensive care for children and adults alike through Trisha Vigna, FNP-BC, at Ozarks Healthcare Gainesville.

Before becoming a family nurse practitioner, Vigna trained in a specialized children’s intensive care unit (ICU), developing a strong foundation in pediatric care. Today, she brings that experience to Ozarks Healthcare in Gainesville, where she is especially passionate about helping children feel better and supporting families in staying healthy - close to home.

“Trisha’s pediatric background allows her to provide personalized, gentle care for some of our youngest patients,” Jacob Petrus, Vice President of Physician Services and Operations at Ozarks Healthcare, said. “Her goal is to help families thrive without having to travel far for expert care.”

Vigna proudly accepts ARKids First through Arkansas Medicaid to help make care even more accessible for local families across state lines.

Vigna is part of a dedicated team at Ozarks Healthcare Gainesville, which also includes Dr. Joseph Barnard and Dr. Edward Henegar, offering a full range of primary care services, including therapies, behavioral health, and imaging for all ages. The clinic is located at 37 Medical Dr. in Gainesville and provides care for acute illnesses, chronic conditions, wellness visits, and more.

The clinic also works closely with the Ozarks Healthcare Pharmacy in Gainesville, located 512 Third St. The pharmacy provides prescription services, medication counseling, and more - making it easier than ever for patients to manage their care in one place. The 340B Discount Prescription Program is available to patients of Ozarks Healthcare providers through Ozarks Healthcare Pharmacies.
