Soirée, AY Magazine Recognize Nearly 250 UAMS Physicians, Nurses
| Little Rock Soirée and AY Magazine recently recognized nearly 250 health care professionals from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).
Soirée’s list of the area’s best doctors included 203 physicians who work at various UAMS Health locations and Arkansas Children’s. The AY list of the best health care professionals recognized 41 employees, including physicians and nurses.
“It isn’t surprising that Soirée and AY Magazine recognized members of Team UAMS for providing exceptional care,” said Cam Patterson, M.D., MBA. “These team members — and so many others — exemplify UAMS’ commitment to improving the health and wellness of all Arkansans.”
Soirée contracted DataJoe Research to facilitate an online peer-voting process and internet research process, while AY’s list was based on reader nominations.
