Conway Regional Health System announced the opening of the Conway Regional Maternal Fetal Medicine Center. The center is located on the hospital campus at 2200 Ada Ave., Suite 200, and is led by perinatologist Dawn S. Hughes, MD, Stacey M. Johnson, APRN, and sonographers Jyl Sullivan and Kristen Thomsen.
“In order to meet the growing needs of the communities we serve, Conway Regional has made the concerted effort to offer new services and expanded access to care,” said Matt Troup, President and CEO of Conway Regional Health System. “It is a tremendous advantage for women with a high-risk pregnancy to find the specialty services they need close to home in Conway. We are delighted to welcome Dr. Hughes and her team to Conway Regional.”
Hughes completed a three-year fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and was an assistant professor of obstetrics-gynecology on the UAMS faculty. Additionally, she completed a residency in obstetrics-gynecology and achieved a medical degree at UAMS. She is double board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology as an OB-Gyn as well as a maternal-fetal medicine specialist.
Johnson is an obstetrics-gynecology nurse practitioner who works closely with Hughes to care for women with high-risk pregnancies. She also provides general gynecology care for women at every stage of life.
