A lawmaker rose on the House floor to recognize Dr. Cam Patterson, the former chancellor of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), saying Patterson announced he would step down after seven years in leadership and would continue at UAMS as a professor of cardiovascular medicine.
The speaker said Patterson guided UAMS through the challenges of the COVID‑19 pandemic and “helped expand access to care across the state,” while strengthening the university’s work in research, patient care and medical education. “I rise today to recognize the leadership of Doctor Cam Patterson,” the lawmaker said.
The remarks were delivered as a floor recognition rather than as part of any formal legislative action. No motions or votes related to the recognition were recorded in the transcript. The lawmaker closed by thanking Dr. Patterson for his service.
