Mallory Kornegay has cystic fibrosis, so she and her husband knew having children would involve potential complications. Dr. Larry Johnson, her UAMS Health cystic fibrosis specialist, referred her to Dr. Adam Sandlin, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at the UAMS Health Women’s Center. Drs. Johnson and Sandlin worked together with Mallory to monitor her through two pregnancies and ensure she and her babies were healthy. Thanks to this coordinated care, the Kornegays are now the proud parents of 2-year-old Malachi and 1-year-old Myles.
“Myles’ middle name is Adam. We named him after Dr. Sandlin because we love and trust him so much. He and everyone else at UAMS were always kind and compassionate, and I felt like a patient, not just a number.” – Mallory Kornegay, El Dorado
