The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) recently broke ground on the UAMS Health Orthopaedics & Sports Performance Center in Springdale.
The 115,000-square-foot center will be located in the four-mile stretch of I-49 on the city’s west side, commonly known as the Springdale Care Corridor, which includes a dozen healthcare providers.
For several years now, an interdisciplinary team of surgeons and rehab specialists has been providing specialty care at UAMS orthopaedics and sports medicine clinics in Fayetteville and Lowell, as well as serving as the official sports medicine provider for all of the University of Arkansas Razorback athletic programs.
The new facility will be the home for all UAMS Health orthopaedic clinics in Northwest Arkansas, as well as sports performance, therapy, and MRI. It will include 20 exam rooms, up to six operating rooms, and eight outpatient recovery beds where patients can stay up to 23 hours if needed.
Completion of the UAMS Health Orthopaedics & Sports Performance Center is expected in 2025.
This surgical facility will accommodate patients’ needs for advanced orthopaedic surgical technology, as well as physical medicine and rehabilitation.
