The son of a physician, Wesley Garner grew up around healthcare and became aware of the needs within his community early on. Observing the impact his father’s work had on patients and their families lit a fire inside to pursue medicine. Having been affected by cancer within his own family and seeing how many lives it impacted around him, he ultimately decided to dedicate his career to serving cancer patients. He is passionate about being part of the fight to help people when they are most vulnerable.
Philanthropy and community service are deeply ingrained in the Garner DNA. Wesley seeks to build on that through any opportunity that makes meaningful strides to improve life for people living in NWA in need of shelter, food, or any healthcare-related services.
