UAMS Open for Business Day of Aug. 31 Razorback Game
| Aug. 22, 2017 – It will be business as usual for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) leading up to and during the Arkansas Razorback game Aug. 31 at War Memorial Stadium.
UAMS will be open and will see patients at their regularly scheduled times. Patients should allow extra time to get to their appointments because of heavy game-related traffic. Though classes for UAMS’ five colleges and Graduate School will be dismissed at noon, the majority of the 8,000 employees who work on campus will be at work.
Parking on campus will be reserved for patients and employees and there will be no game-day parking available before or during the game for the public at any of the UAMS parking decks or lots. Only employees who show ID or patients who have appointments will be allowed on campus.
UAMS is the state’s only health sciences university, with colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Professions and Public Health; a graduate school; a hospital; a main campus in Little Rock; a Northwest Arkansas regional campus in Fayetteville; a statewide network of regional campuses; and eight institutes: the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute, Psychiatric Research Institute, Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging, Translational Research Institute, Institute for Digital Health & Innovation and the Institute for Community Health Innovation. UAMS includes UAMS Health, a statewide health system that encompasses all of UAMS’ clinical enterprise. UAMS is the only adult Level 1 trauma center in the state. UAMS has 3,275 students, 890 medical residents and fellows, and five dental residents. It is the state’s largest public employer with more than 12,000 employees, including 1,200 physicians who provide care to patients at UAMS, its regional campuses, Arkansas Children’s, the VA Medical Center and Baptist Health.
