08 Feb 2016 Adcock Family Foundation makes donation to CARTI

Members of the Adcock Family Foundation, a Conway-based charitable organization, were honored Friday with the dedication of exterior signage at CARTI Radiation Oncology in Conway in recognition of a recent $30,000 gift made to the local clinic of the statewide cancer care network.

"We are genuinely grateful to our friends at the Adcock Family Foundation for this generous gift that has allowed us to significantly improve and enhance the appearance of our radiation oncology clinic in Conway," said Kathi Jones, president of the CARTI Foundation.

Designated primarily for building improvements at CARTI Radiation Oncology in Conway, specific projects for improvements courtesy of the Adcock Family Foundation grant will include improvements involving the facility’s CT room/control area as well as exterior landscaping and waterproofing.

The foundation, in its third year, awards grants predominantly in Faulkner County which total about $120,000 annually.

Bunny Adcock said he was inspired by the late Bob Nabholz to begin a family foundation. “I decided to follow his lead,” he said, adding that he felt it was important to start the philanthropic group at a time when he could share his beliefs and philosophies.

CARTI is a statewide network of independent cancer care facilities with locations in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Clinton, Conway, El Dorado, Heber Springs, Mountain Home, Russellville, Searcy and Stuttgart.

Conway is unique in that it is the only city outside of Little Rock in which CARTI has a dual presence.

CARTI Radiation Oncology, located at 2605 College Avenue, opened in 1996 and provides radiation therapy for cancer patients.

CARTI Medical Oncology, located at 2425 Dave Ward Drive, opened in 2013 and provides chemotherapy and hematology services to cancer patients. Medical oncologists for the clinic are: Lawrence Mendelsohn, M.D.; Thomas Sneed, M.D.; and Jamie Burton, M.D.

The CARTI Foundation was incorporated in 1983 as a non-profit organization to assist CARTI in meeting the current and future needs of Arkansas cancer patients and their families.
