New Management Team Takes on Challenges

More than 10 years under contract management, Nutrition Services operations has returned to UAMS.  A new UAMS management team welcomes the challenge to bring improved Nutrition Services to patient, clinical, catering and retail operations.

The future holds exciting challenges for Nutrition Services.  Patient Satisfaction is one of the top priorities for improvement.  After the completion of a department computerized system, menus will be modernized along with researching new food service options and planning of a patient food program.  This will enable us to ensure UAMS patients receive a variety of nutritious meals that will assist in their healing process.

Improvements are also scheduled for retail operations.  The first renovation will begin the Outpatient Clinics food area.  A modern cart is being developed to provide convenient foods such as pre-made sandwiches, salads, pizzas, Panini’s, specialty coffees & fruit smoothies and at the same time provide hot meal choices.

Renovation of the cafeteria will offer an inviting dining atmosphere, while providing excellent menu choices that will meet all of our customers needs.  Nutrition Services plans on revamping many menu choices to incorporate the Healthy Arkansas guidelines.
