The Jackson T. Stephens Spine and Neurosciences Institute at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is a center for research, education, and clinical care related to the spine. It is named for philanthropist Jack Stephens of Little Rock, whose historic gift to UAMS made the institute’s 12-story building possible.
The Institute is the home of the T. Glenn Pait, M.D., Spine Clinic, University Rehabilitation, and the Departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery of the UAMS College of Medicine, as well as related neurosciences programs.
The Institute is also home to the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy (MIRT). The Myeloma Institute treats multiple myeloma patients from all over the world.
