At the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), child care isn’t just a perk — it’s a powerful part of their talent strategy.   

As Arkansas’ only academic health system, UAMS knew that supporting employees meant going beyond the basics. That's why the university built a dedicated child care center that combines a high-quality curriculum with the convenience and reliability healthcare workers need.   

With their children thriving at the center, parents are able to fully engage at work and deliver exemplary patient care.
