Dear UAMS Family,
Following the announcement Monday of the elimination of positions, rumors began circulating and continue to multiply. That’s certainly understandable in light of what has happened and the sadness we are all experiencing in the loss of many of our colleagues. Unfortunately, this type of speculation takes its toll on employee morale, and so I think it’s important that we address it and have an open dialog.
I hope you will join me and other senior leaders for a Town Hall meeting at noon, Thursday, January 18, in the Fred W. Smith auditorium of the Jackson T. Stephens Spine Institute. We will be broadcasting the event to our remote locations and will make it available for employees to watch from their desktops. If you choose to join us in the auditorium, please feel free to bring your lunch with you. More information about the Town Hall, and how to connect, will be available in UAMS Announcements.
We are continuing our efforts to help those employees whose positions were eliminated with their job search. Human Resources is providing outplacement services, and we have been in contact with other health care providers and other employers to see if openings they have would be a good fit for our displaced employees. We also held an internal job fair highlighting our nursing openings this week. We will continue to provide any assistance possible.
This is a very difficult time but working together, I know we will overcome our financial challenges and sustain UAMS into the future.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Gardner, Pharm.D., Ed.D
Interim Chancellor
