⚠️ BREAKING NEWS: The holidays are upon us. We have no idea how this happened. We are still trying to process that it is not, in fact, July. 🤯❄️

Our entire ODS staff is sending you all the warm, fuzzy vibes! We hope your holidays are filled with peace, love, and absolutely zero stress.

Real talk for a second though: We love to joke around, but when it comes to your health? We have zero chill. Your safety is our #1 obsession, no ifs, ands, or candy cane butts about it. 🍬👩‍⚕️

Thanks for being the best patients in the world. Now go enjoy every single moment of 2025!

Cheers! 🥂✨

✨ ODS Team Spotlight: Whitney Castro - Our Swiss Army Knife! 🛠️
If you're looking for Whitney in One Day Surgery (ODS), just look for the person who is already there helping out before you even asked. Seriously, her can-do attitude is so inspiring, we're pretty sure she runs on a potent blend of caffeine and pure helpfulness.
Why Whitney rocks the ODS world:
• She's our OR instrument wizard. When things get complex, Whitney makes sure the right tool is in the right hand at the right time. Basically, she's the reason everything flows smoother than a freshly sterilized surgical tray.
• She's so versatile, we're pretty sure she could file our taxes and win a gold medal in the same afternoon.
Outside the Scrub Life:
When she’s not keeping the ODS machine running flawlessly, Whitney is probably:
• Being an MVP on the softball field 🥎
• Seeing the world ✈️
• Hitting the gym (to keep that "boundless energy" supply fully stocked) 💪
• Spending quality time with her family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Join us in celebrating Whitney! We're not saying the department would crumble without her... but we are saying we'd need at least three more people and a lot more coffee. Thanks for everything, Whitney! We are incredibly lucky to have you!

It is with immense pleasure and admiration that we dedicate this week's staff spotlight to a truly outstanding member of our team, Nurse Katie Farris!

Although Katie is relatively new to our bustling One Day Surgery unit, her dedication to patient care and skilled hands have made her an indispensable asset in record time. Frankly, we cannot imagine our daily operations without her!

Beyond her professional prowess, Katie's warm demeanor and collaborative spirit mean she fits into our close-knit family like she's been here for years. She truly embodies the collegiality and teamwork we cherish.

When she steps away from her duties, Katie is an enthusiast of both captivating screen time (TV/movies) and the great outdoors. So whether she's expertly dissecting a complex medical procedure or perfectly planning a weekend adventure, she's always ready for action!

We are incredibly fortunate to have Katie Farris as part of our team and eagerly anticipate her continued, lightning-fast contributions!

✨ ODS Spotlight Alert! Meet Jacy Cagle, one of our Surgical MVPs! ✨

Forget "multitasking"—Jacy, our incredible scrub tech, operates on a different level. In the OR, she's a Zen master of scalpels and clamps, anticipating needs before the surgeon even thinks them. She keeps procedures smoother than a filtered selfie.

But wait, there's more! At home, she uses those same lightning-fast skills to manage three active sons and a supportive husband. We're pretty sure the operating room prep is less intense than getting those boys ready for school. Seriously, if you can successfully manage a pediatric chaos unit and a high-stakes surgery, you deserve a cape (and maybe a nap).

Jacy, you're an absolute rockstar! Thanks for everything you do! 💙

As Veterans Day approaches, the entire ODS staff is compelled to pause and express our profound gratitude. This significant occasion offers a meaningful opportunity to honor and recognize the exceptional individuals who have courageously served in our military. We extend our deepest appreciation to every veteran and active service member for their immense sacrifices – not only of their lives but also of their time, well-being, and personal comfort – all in defense of the freedoms and values we hold dear. Your unwavering dedication, bravery, and selfless commitment have forged the very foundation of our security and prosperity. We are eternally thankful for your service and the enduring impact it has had on our nation.

This week, our One Day Surgery department is absolutely thrilled to dedicate our weekly spotlight to an exceptional member of our nursing staff: Allison Cole.

Since joining our team, Allison has swiftly become an invaluable and indispensable addition to the One Day Surgery unit. Her dedicated presence and positive impact are already so significant that it's challenging to envision our operations running as smoothly without her. Allison consistently radiates warmth, compassion, and a genuine kindness that enriches the experience for both our patients and her colleagues, truly cultivating a more supportive and positive environment for everyone she encounters.

While Allison is diligently immersing herself in the intricate details of her role and expanding her expertise in surgical nursing, her eagerness to learn and unwavering commitment to excellence are truly commendable. We have every confidence that she will not only excel but also make profound and lasting contributions during her time here at UAMS.

Beyond her professional dedication, Allison leads a vibrant life outside of work. She enjoys unwinding with a bit of retail therapy and, most importantly, cherishes precious moments spent with her loving husband, their adorable young son, and their beloved family dog.

Allison, we are genuinely fortunate and incredibly proud to have you as a vital member of the One Day Surgery team. Thank you for the outstanding dedication and compassionate care you bring to UAMS every single day.

Our Weekly Spotlight is focused on the one and only Amanda Brucks! As a surgical technologist, Amanda has a heart of gold and a sharp mind that keeps our O.R. running smoothly.

But she's not stopping there—Amanda is also actively working to become a registered nurse. We're still trying to figure out how she manages to do it all!

When she finally gets a moment to breathe, Amanda loves to curl up with a good book, create a culinary masterpiece in the kitchen, and, most importantly, snuggle with her fiancé and two beloved dogs.

Plus, you might recognize her handiwork: Amanda is the incredible designer and seamstress behind some of our favorite scrub caps, often going the extra mile to design the custom fabric herself. Amanda is a truly amazing force of nature
