Synergy Saturday: Where Health and Wealth Truly Intersect
At Synergy Saturday, we don't just say, "Health is wealth—" we activate it. We are one of the few, if not the only, grassroots organizations that provide free, high-quality preventive care in a way that directly builds personal and community wealth by eliminating common financial and systemic barriers to wellness.
Unlike typical health fairs or public health campaigns, Synergy Saturday merges wellness and economic empowerment into a unified solution. Our weekly pop-up health events are intentionally designed to reverse cycles of poor health and poverty by offering:
These services help participants:
We also offer specially-designed diabetes plate kits, educational white papers, and supplements—tools that support sustained health and reduce costly trial-and-error in diabetes and chronic disease management.
Through collaborative partnerships with hospitals, universities, businesses, and law enforcement, Synergy Saturday uniquely builds a culture of prevention and prosperity—training the next generation of healthcare providers while meeting urgent needs in real-time.
Each screening has an estimated value of $100—meaning every $100 raised saves a life and protects a family's economic future.
In a world where illness often triggers financial ruin, Synergy Saturday redefines community care by showing that when you invest in health, you multiply wealth—physically, mentally, and economically.
That's Synergy. That's Saturday. That's the future of public health.

Maximizing Savings: How Our Screenings Benefit Patients and Insurers
We Guarantee and Prove It!
At our clinic, we stand out by valuing each patient's health and providing exceptional care that is both affordable and effective. Our unique approach includes offering health screenings, results consultation, and personalized prevention plans at no cost to each patient. The estimated collective value of these services is $92.93, but their impact on our community's health is immeasurable. These screenings are not just about individual health; they save lives and reduce the burden on our healthcare system, making our community healthier and more resilient. By participating in these screenings, you are taking care of your health and contributing to the well-being of our entire community.
Our complimentary health screening is not just a service; it's a significant financial relief. It is equivalent to a general physical exam, costing insurance companies around $368 per person in Arkansas. This cost does not even include the additional copay or coinsurance patients require. Opting for our free health screening saves healthcare costs and relieves the stress of unnecessary emergency room (ER) visits and insurance-related claims. It's a breath of fresh air in the often overwhelming world of healthcare expenses, providing a much-needed financial break for our community.
The value of our complimentary health screenings is $92.93 per person. If Synergy Saturday billed insurance companies like other medical clinics, our price would still save them $275.07 compared to a general physical exam in Arkansas, which costs around $368. Because we don't, insurance companies save $368 plus the cost of unnecessary ER trips, which should, in turn, bring down premiums of those insured in Arkansas. This potential for significant cost savings is a reason for optimism about the future of our healthcare system, giving insurance companies hope for a more sustainable future. It's a promising outlook for the future of healthcare costs and accessibility, and your support can help us realize this vision.

Synergy Saturday Spotlight: Smart Solutions for Healthcare Systems
INTERPERSONAL / TEAMWORK / CRITICAL THINKING
Interpersonal skills, the bedrock of healthcare, continue to be irreplaceable. While technology can streamline processes, it also risks diluting the crucial personal touch in our field.
|
The healthcare sector is transitioning into a customer service industry, demanding a shift in the skills embedded in the standard healthcare curriculum. Bedside behavior, cultural sensitivity, personal communication, and team-building skills will become increasingly important in education and training. Unfortunately, these skills have diminished among younger demographics due to the rampant reliance on technology.
|
Critical thinking is not only important, it's indispensable. Future healthcare professionals must know how to use technology and understand the 'why' behind the 'how.' They must comprehend the underlying mechanics and thought processes, not just surface-level operations.
|
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
As the healthcare industry increasingly becomes more customer service-focused, it must also become more culturally sensitive. Anyone turned off or away from healthcare becomes a potential risk to themselves and potentially their community.
|
The future healthcare workforce will require a comprehensive diversity education that extends beyond understanding different cultures. It should also focus on identifying and addressing biases, such as unconscious racial or gender biases, and their impact on patient care.
|
Our workforce must mirror the diversity of the population it serves, particularly in smaller, more rural areas. This inclusivity is a goal and a necessity for our industry's future success.
|
We must face the challenge of retaining diverse talent head-on. One key strategy is to foster a sense of community among our employees, connecting them to the people they serve.
|
