Description

Every image tells a story, and every patient matters. We're seeking a skilled MRI Technologist to join our close-knit oncology team, where cutting-edge technology, clinical excellence, and genuine compassion come together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of cancer patients every day.

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.
