Three New Advanced Practice Clinicians Join Growing Surgical Oncology, Radiation Oncology and Urology Teams
CARTI recently added three advanced practice clinicians to its team of cancer care experts: Forrest Galloway, APRN, Riley Klober, PA-C and Kristen Meeks, APRN.
“CARTI’s mission is made possible by the compassion and dedication of our 1,200-person team across the state,” said Matthew Hardee, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and board-certified radiation oncologist. “Forrest, Riley and Kristen have not only distinguished themselves for their medical excellence in patient care but also for their shared commitment to making trusted cancer care accessible.”
Forrest Galloway, a nurse practitioner, will provide follow-up care to patients undergoing radiation treatments at CARTI Cancer Center Conway and Pine Bluff. He is a graduate of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences’ Master of Nursing Science Program. Galloway holds a bachelor’s degree in microbiology and biology from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and an associate’s degree in nursing from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Riley Klober, a physician assistant, will serve patients alongside the head and neck surgical oncology team at CARTI Cancer Center Little Rock. He completed the Master of Physician Assistant Studies Program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Klober holds a bachelor’s degree in biology from Southern Arkansas University, where he graduated summa cum laude.
Now a nurse practitioner, Kristen Meeks has been a member of the CARTI Urology team since 2023. She brings nearly a decade of experience to her new role, having previously served as a clinical nurse. She earned her master’s degree from Chamberlain University and graduated from Baptist Health College Little Rock’s registered nurse program. Meeks will see patients at CARTI Cancer Center Heber Springs and Little Rock, as well as CARTI Urology North Little Rock.
