About the Community
Jonesboro is the largest city in northeast Arkansas and the commercial and cultural hub of the Arkansas Delta region, offering a cost of living well below the national average alongside a genuine small-city quality of life. Arkansas State University anchors the community with Division I athletics, performing arts, and a vibrant university culture, while the broader region provides easy access to outdoor recreation along Crowley's Ridge and the St. Francis National Forest. Memphis, Tennessee — with its international airport, major medical institutions, and urban amenities — is approximately 70 miles to the east, making Jonesboro an attractive base for physicians who want a tight-knit community without sacrificing metropolitan access.
