UAMS Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging

UAMS Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging This is the official page for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging Department of Geriatrics.

Our mission is clinical care, education, and research. Established through a $28.8 million gift from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, the Reynolds Institute on Aging recognizes that the focus of health care must shift from merely keeping people alive to making those later years healthier and more productive. In other words, the focus is not adding years to life; rather, it’s adding life to years. Through the generosity of the Reynolds Foundation in providing an additional $33.4 million gift in 2009, we are poised to expand our services, continuing our tradition of providing world-class medical care to the citizens of Arkansas. Our patient services include the Thomas and Lyon Longevity clinic, Walker Family Memory center, Housecall program and Palliative Care program.
