Dr. Peeples recieves award for going above and beyond for NICU families

Congratulations, Dr. Sara Peeples, UAMS neonatologist and associate professor of pediatrics, on being honored with the Willow Award for going above and beyond in the care of a family during their baby’s NICU journey.

In caring for our tiniest patients and educating our future pediatricians, Dr. Peeples exemplifies the qualities that make our faculty so special — clinical excellence, deep compassion, and an unwavering commitment to patient care.

Dr. Peeples graduated from med school at the College of Medicine and also completed residency and fellowship training at UAMS.

Watch her story in this feature from the Little Rock Fox station.
