UAMS South Central Supports the Pink Out 5K! 💗💗💗

This morning, members of the UAMS South Central Regional Campus team participated in the Jefferson Regional Hospital Pink Out 5K in Pine Bluff.

Our team had a wonderful time supporting runners and walkers of all ages as the community came together to raise awareness for breast cancer. It was an honor to witness the strength of survivors who have beaten the odds and the courage of those who continue to fight.

For the Pine Bluff clinic I would like to recognize Miss Alfredia Cooper CNA🎉🩺

Ms Alfreda Cooper is a CNA that works in the Pine Bluff family medicine clinic. She has been a staple in this clinic for many years. She goes above and beyond for our patience and our staff members. She mainly works with the residents and she does a wonderful job to keep them on track when it comes to getting the patients what they need. She’s a great patient advocate. She provides candy and treats for the staff daily to give them the extra push that they may need to get through the day. She comes to work faithfully every day. She is someone that you can definitely count on. She is a dedicated hard worker. I am proud to have her work here in the Pine Bluff clinic. I am happy to celebrate her. Thank you for all that you do Ms Alfredia!!!
