Holiday Cards Feature Some of Arkansas’ Tiniest Babies

Holiday cards and note cards featuring some of the tiniest patients at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) are on sale for the first time ever.

The cards feature photographs of infants treated in the UAMS neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Photographs were taken by Little Rock photographer Amy Davenport, who donated her services to the project.

All proceeds will be used to provide support services to families of infants in the UAMS NICU. The UAMS NICU provides state-of-the-art care for many of Arkansas’ tiniest infants — some weighing less than two pounds and requiring hospitalization for weeks or months.

The cards are available for $10 for a pack of 10. Five designs are available — three include a holiday greeting, and two are blank. Each pack features one design.

Cards can be viewed at www.uams.edu/holidaycards. An order form is available online, and orders can be placed by mail, fax, or by calling (501) 603-1255. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, cash or check. A shipping cost of 50 cents or less per pack will be added to each order of less than 30 packs. Cards also will be available for purchase in the UAMS Medical Center gift shop and the Arkansas Cancer Research Center gift shop, both located on the UAMS campus, beginning Nov. 15.

UAMS Introduces Eating Disorder Program

An outpatient eating disorder treatment program is now available through the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).

Offered through the UAMS Psychiatric Research Institute, the new program is accepting patients on an outpatient basis. It will expand to offer more comprehensive services such as intensive outpatient services and inpatient treatment, upon the opening of the new PRI building at UAMS in 2008. The program will be able to treat women and men of any age.

“This program will have multiple treatment components, including individual, group and family therapy, nutritional counseling and specialized medical treatment to address this complicated problem,” said Ann Brown, a licensed clinical social worker and director of the UAMS Eating Disorder Program. “This is a growing problem that can affect both women and men at any age and there is a real need for a comprehensive program in Arkansas.”
