At ARC Physical Therapy+, our mission to redefine excellence extends beyond patient care. It’s also about supporting the communities we’re proud to serve. In 2024, our clinic teams came together to give back in meaningful ways, contributing time, donations, and care to organizations and initiatives across Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas.
Volunteer Efforts
During local Give Back Days, our employees embraced hands-on volunteering, connecting with local organizations to make a difference:
- Kansas Humane Society (Wichita): Spending time with animals and supporting shelter needs.
- Lasagna Love: Spreading kindness by delivering homemade lasagna to those in need.
- Shadow Buddies Foundation: Supporting children with medical challenges with comforting buddy dolls.
- Safe Haven (Rogersville): Lending time and energy to organize the food pantry and sort donations for the thrift store.
Food Drives
Our clinics joined forces to tackle hunger, organizing food drives for Harvesters and local food banks in communities including Blue Springs, Topeka, Manhattan, Wichita, Jefferson City, Lebanon, Joplin, St. Joseph, Cameron, Kearney, and Rogersville.
Supporting Students
We’re committed to ensuring students have the tools they need to succeed. This year, we held three school supply drives for Cornerstones of Care, benefiting schools in the Kansas City Metro area, Missouri, and Wichita.
Adopting Families for the Holidays
In partnership with Phoenix Family, we helped make the holidays brighter by adopting two families, providing essential items and holiday cheer.

Why Giving Back Matters
“We’ve always believed that giving back is essential to improving lives,” said Ben Peterson, ARC Physical Therapy+ CEO and Partner. “Our philanthropic efforts strengthen our communities while fostering a culture of gratitude and service among our team.”
Through initiatives like these, we strive to make a difference not only in the lives of our patients but in the communities we call home.
