Clarksville, Ark., March 1, 2024 – Chief Executive Officer Dr. Brad Holloway, along with Nabholz Construction Corporation and Sowell Architects, held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a new program center at the Clarksville branch of Birch Tree Communities.

The new program center will allow for increased programs and better access for the members that we serve.”
