Kate Stewart, M.D., MPH, enjoyed a lengthy career in health care that changed the lives of people throughout Arkansas.
To commemorate her impact while also financially assisting students who share Stewart’s passion for eliminating health inequities, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health has established the Dr. Mary Kathryn Stewart Scholarship.
“It’s possible that some of the students who are more interested in addressing health equities may also face greater barriers financially to getting a public health education,” Stewart said. “The scholarship is one way we can help address those barriers, so I’m excited about that.”
