'It is heart-wrenching to see unvaccinated individuals come into the hospital with regret,' said UAMS' Dr. Ryan Dare, an infectious diseases physician. They are patients who, 'if they could do it all over again, would have had the vaccine in a second.'
COVID-19 is no longer smoldering in Arkansas. It has broken out into a raging forest fire that will grow in size & strength. We can't stand still. We must act to reduce the consequences of this new surge to the extent possible.

It doesn’t take long for many young girls to be exposed to messages about what girls “can” and “cannot” do. Thankfully, Heather Pinckard-Dover never got the memo. She is the first female neurosurgeon to complete a residency at UAMS.
