MISSION:
Methodist Family Health Foundation supports the mission of Methodist Family Health (MFH) to provide the best possible care for Arkansans who experience abandonment, abuse and neglect or struggle with psychiatric, behavioral and emotional issues. Originally started as an orphanage in 1899 and often known as the Methodist Children’s Home, MFH now serves 4,000+ children and their families each year through an array of mental health services. The foundation offers amenities that bolster its clients’ therapeutic journeys and essential items not covered by insurance. Its name honors its roots, but the foundation serves all who need help regardless of religious affiliation.
