The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is opening a facility in Premier Medical Plaza in west Little Rock. UAMS plans to offer a variety of services when they open in early 2023.
The UAMS Health Specialty Center will house ambulatory surgeries, a urology clinic and an interventional radiology and advanced imaging center.
UAMS will lease 32,000 SF of the facility and their hope is that the center will address the growing trend toward convenience and accessibility for patients.
Premier Medical Plaza, a former K-Mart, was redeveloped by Premier Gastroenterology Associates and Moses Tucker Partners in 2019 for $50 million. Between UAMS, Premier Gastroenterology Associates, Baptist Health and Natural State Laboratories, the medical facility is fully leased.
