The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is organizing all of its clinical enterprises in Little Rock and around the state under the UAMS Health umbrella.

“UAMS is more than a hospital, it is more than a university and it is more than cutting-edge research,” said Chancellor Cam Patterson, MD, MBA. “We are a health system — one that serves all of the state — and this reorganization demonstrates our commitment to providing quality healthcare to all Arkansans.”

The bookshelves and tables in the waiting room at Community Clinic in Rogers are filled with new books, thanks to recent gifts from New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine-Arkansas.

Staff members from NYITCOM-Arkansas in Jonesboro visited the Rogers clinic last week to donate toys and books that are in English, Spanish, and Marshallese. The donation will help to promote childhood literacy and encourage parents to read with their children. Medical students at NYITCOM-Arkansas perform clinical rotations at Community Clinic.
