Every image tells a story, and every scan has the power to guide life-changing care.

Our oncology clinic is seeking a skilled and compassionate CT / X-Ray Technician to play a vital role in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of patients facing cancer. If you are committed to excellence in imaging and dedicated to providing exceptional patient care, we invite you to join our team. Highlands Oncology began in 1996 with three physicians and a desire to change the face of oncology care in our community. Dr. Malcolm Hayward, Dr. Dan Bradford, and Dr. Thad Beck knew that patients do better at home, in the community where they live and work, and where their support system is already in place. In furthering that goal, Highlands has grown with the region from a single location 26 years ago, to 6 locations in Northwest and Northcentral Arkansas today employing more than 800 diverse team members. As Northwest Arkansas continues to grow, so must the services and providers available in the region. Highlands Oncology is committed to remaining on the cutting edge to ensure our community has access to the very best cancer care. What we have is something quite unique right here in our own backyard with a caring multidisciplinary team focused on treating patients like family.
