UAMS, the home of Arkansas' only teaching hospital, with clinics covering every medical specialty and a staff of more than 1,100 doctors, is committed to improving the health of Arkansans. Located in Little Rock, Arkansas, the newly expanded hospital and outpatient clinics include centers of excellence for medical research and treatment of cancer, eye, spine, aging and psychiatric conditions. Our research and educational programs inspire new knowledge that results in better diagnosis and more advanced patient care.
About Me:
UAMS is one of the largest public employers in the state with about 9,600 employees, including nearly 1,150 physicians who provide medical care to patients at UAMS and its affiliates, Arkansas Children's Hospital and the VA Medical Center.
UAMS combines the patient care resources of a state-of-the art hospital and outpatient center with the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, Harvey and Bernice Jones Eye Institute, Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging, Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, the Psychiatric Research Institute and Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute.
The outreach efforts of UAMS include eight Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) in Fayetteville, Pine Bluff, El Dorado, Texarkana, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, Batesville/Mountain Home and Helena, Ark.; networks of senior health centers and centers for young children with special health care needs; and interactive video education and medical consultation services to community hospitals around the state.
UAMS is the state's largest basic and applied research institution, with more than $107 million in annual research funding, grants and contracts and internationally renowned programs in multiple myeloma, aging, cancer and other areas.
UAMS and its affiliates, Arkansas Children's Hospital and the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System have a total economic impact in Arkansas of about $5 billion per year. UAMS receives only 10 percent of its funding from the state. Its operation is funded by payments for clinical services (64 percent), grants and contracts (18 percent), philanthropy and other (5 percent), and tuition and fees (2 percent).
