UAMS South has the broad support of hospital-based and community-based physicians in South Arkansas and the main campus in Little Rock. UAMS South’s sponsoring institution, Magnolia Regional Medical Center, is a 177-bed community-based tertiary medical center. Magnolia was founded in 1853 and got its name from the southern magnolia, or laurel, tree, a native of Arkansas. Magnolia is located between El Dorado and Texarkana and about 80 miles northeast of Shreveport, Louisiana. Also located in Magnolia is Southern Arkansas University Tech established on April 1, 1909, and opened their doors on January 3, 1911, as a residential secondary agricultural school for Southwest Arkansas after local citizens raised funds to match state funding to locate the institution in Magnolia. Magnolia is served by two regional airports, Texarkana Regional about 52 miles away, and Shreveport Regional about 90 miles away and the closest national airport is in Little Rock, Clinton National Airport which is about 140 miles away.
The mission of UAMS South is to provide state-of-the-art comprehensive, accessible health care for the people of South Arkansas by educating, nurturing, and supporting present and future healthcare professionals.
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences was founded in 1879 by eight physicians. Today UAMS is the state’s only academic health center, part of a statewide network of postsecondary education institutions of the University of Arkansas System governed by a 10-member Board of Trustees.
In addition to its next-generation hospital and outpatient center on the now 84-acre campus, UAMS is home to the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Professions, Public Health, and a graduate school. But UAMS is much more than its central campus, the university runs clinics in all 75 counties in the state, eight regional family medical centers, eight Centers on Aging, and one of the most successful Head Start Programs in the nation.
