OPENING: Hello. This past year at UAMS has been one of significant achievements. From opening the new orthopaedic and spine hospital to honoring inaugural graduating classes and continued growth of research funding, UAMS continues to improve the health, health care and well-being of Arkansans and of others in the region.
Join me as we highlight just a portion of these ground-breaking endeavors in our clinical, education and research mission areas. At UAMS, we are Breaking Ground!
