Dr Hartzell has been passionate about outreach and service to the underserved since he was in High School.
At a young age, Larry organized a service project for Battered Women and Abandoned Children for his Eagle Scout project.
He dedicated 2 years during his college years to instead serve a church mission in Colombia.
Prior to medical school, Larry spent a month in Guatemala volunteering in medical clinics and hospitals.
Since then, Larry served in volunteer clinics in Tucson and down at the Mexican border in Nogales.
As a resident and fellow, Larry used his vacation time to join medical/surgical mission trips to China and Guatemala.
As faculty, Dr Hartzell continued to participate in humanitarian missions to Guatemala, Egypt and Ecuador and continues with annual trips.
Dr Hartzell not only wanted to serve people in other countries but even more so close to home. As a result, he has been traveling at least monthly to Northwest Arkansas to save them the drive to Little Rock and bring the care closer to their home. IN the last few years, Larry added to this time by expanding the primary care clinic in southwest Little Rock to include ENT specialty care.
