By Ben Boulden

The spring and summer of 2023 brought growth to UAMS as the university opened several new facilities including a new hospital  on the Little Rock campus and broke ground on a new sports performance center in Northwest Arkansas.

Clinical operations and programs at several sites also expanded.

In April, UAMS opened a new, 32,000-square-foot Urology Center in Premier Medical Plaza on Rodney Parham Road just days after opening a new UAMS Health Orthopaedic & Spine Clinic in North Little Rock.
