The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences opened two clinics in the past week at Freeway Medical Tower, 5800 W. 10th St. in Little Rock.
One is a Multi-Disciplinary Organ Transplant Team location and the other is its UAMS Health Epilepsy & Neurology Clinic.
The organ transplant clinic is on the seventh floor, in Suite 7-100. That team has another location on the main UAMS campus in Little Rock and at the UAMS Family Medical Center in Fayetteville.
UAMS is also home to Arkansas’ only adult kidney transplant program, is expanding its living donor program and has achieved short wait times and better-than-national-benchmarks patient outcomes through its collaboration with Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery.
Potential organ transplant patients will be evaluated at the Freeway Medical Tower location by specialists while patients with prior transplants can be seen at Fayetteville clinic.
Transplantation surgeries will be performed at UAMS, 4301 W. Markham St. in Little Rock.
The epilepsy and neurology clinic is in Suite 605 and compliments the neurology clinic on the main UAMS campus, providing more access to specialized care for those diagnosed with epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.
Any needed surgical procedures will be performed at the nearby UAMS, which houses the only adult level 4 Epilepsy Center in the state, the highest accreditation available from the National Association of Epilepsy Centers.
UAMS is also recognized as a Partner in MS Care by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
