Researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) have been awarded $1.3 million to study disparities in immune response to SARS-CoV-2, known as COVID-19, through serological testing in Arkansas.

Serological testing measures a person’s immune response to an infection in the form of antibodies in the blood.

The project will contribute to short- and long-term impact of COVID-19 and the pandemic on the physical, psychological, and social health of underrepresented minority men and women in Arkansas.

The 9th Annual Angel One 5K/10K hosted by Arkansas Children's Hospital Angel One Transport team was held virtually on Oct. 3.  

Every year, the Angel One Transport team makes 1,900 patient transports. Many of these patients are transported long distances to Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) for lifesaving care, but the cost of travel is often a financial burden to families. The funds raised will support the purchase of gas cards to assist families with travel expenses.
