Dr. Brad Bibb has been inducted as 2025-2026 president of the Arkansas Medical Society of Little Rock. In this position, which he began at the end of May, Bibb will work to strengthen the society’s relationships with stakeholders in the Arkansas health care community. “With this being our 150-year anniversary, I think it is time for us to do some strategic planning to make sure we are positioned to be around and successful in another 150 years,” he said.
Before becoming president, Bibb served the society as secretary, treasurer and vice president. For 15 years, he was the owner and CEO of Access Medical Clinic of Bay (Craighead County), which has 79 urgent and primary care clinics across Arkansas and seven other states. Now he is chairman of the company’s board after selling the majority stake. Bibb was medical director at four northeast Arkansas nursing homes and hospice care facilities. During his time as medical director, he was also a consultant for practice management at Baxter Regional Medical Center in Mountain Home.
Bibb received his medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, and he holds a bachelor’s degree in biology from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. Many years into practicing medicine, a conversation with a colleague inspired Bibb to join a physician executive MBA program, which led to him receiving his MBA from the University of Texas at Dallas. “It wasn’t that I didn’t love medicine — I do. But through that experience, I discovered that my passion for business and creating systems to expand access to care could have a broader impact,” he said in his presidential acceptance speech at the annual AMS meeting.
