The MVP of the Month for October 2026 from the UAMS Department of Family and Preventive Medicine and the Primary Care and Population Health Service Line is Doris Hadley. Doris is the charge RN at the Little Rock Family Medicine Clinic and has been a valued member of Team UAMS for 22 years!
Doris was recognized for the following:
- Her organized, upbeat, and empathetic attitude with patients and coworkers alike
- Always going above and beyond to care for patients – the story below from her nomination showcases just how committed she is to going above and beyond
“This morning, at 7:30 am, while driving down 6th Street, I saw Doris pushing a woman in a wheelchair up the hill to the FMC clinic. I worried Doris might hurt herself, so I went to find out what had happened. By this time, Doris had the patient in the waiting room and had given her juice and something to eat. Doris shared that she found the patient wrapped in a blanket in the parking deck. The patient had a large gash on her right lower leg. She said she had been to the ED but hadn’t been treated. Doris found a wheelchair and brought her to the clinic. She scheduled an appointment for her to see a physician and referred her to the Integrated Behavioral Health specialist.”
Doris will receive a certificate of recognition and a gift bag. She also will be honored during the annual DFPM Research Symposium.
Congratulations, Doris! Thank you for all you do!
