The ground-breaking ceremony for the new hospital was held two years ago on 12 April 2021.

Funding for the project was provided through a bond issue approved by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees.

Situated in a highly visible location from Interstate 630 and in the Little Rock campus, the newly constructed surgical hospital will be easily accessible from anywhere in the state.

UAMS Health CEO and UAMS chancellor Cam Patterson said: “We are thrilled to be ushering in a new era of providing comprehensive specialised care available under one roof for orthopaedic and spine patients across the state.

“This facility was designed to support the state-of-the-art equipment and world-class care that we are famous for, while providing easy access for patients.”
