A military medical team is now working alongside medical professionals at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences which has been short-staffed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Stephen Mette, senior vice chancellor for UAMS Health and chief executive officer for UAMS Medical Center, welcomed the 23-person team to the state-run facility Monday. Members of the team will assist with COVID-19 patients and other needs. He said UAMS has expanded physical space to take care of more patients, but hasn’t had enough staff.
