challenges. It’s important to have that strong relationship with my bank to allow me to pursue my dreams, to support my family, and to support my community by investing in it. I wouldn’t be able to do that by myself. I need honest people on my side. I need a bank with that mindset to help me reach those goals. That’s why I love my relationship with First Community Bank.”

we knee experts High school sports, 30 years of basketball officiating, 20 years of football officiating and countless hours on the golf course in his role as executive director of the Arkansas State Golf Association all combined to wear out Jay Fox’s knees. Nervous about surgery, he tried physical therapy, dry needle therapy, pain medicine and just generally doing less for several years. The pain eventually got so bad he sought help from UAMS Health Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Lowry Barnes and was immediately reassured and put at ease after meeting with him. He was back home just a few hours after surgery, and he began rehab the following day. Within a few months, he was back on the golf course, pain free.
