IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO’S ACCOUNTABLE, JUST READ THE NAME ON THE DOOR “Since 1933, Stephens has operated under the vision and values set forth by my father and my uncle. They held themselves directly accountable for the success of their clients, valuing relationships much more than transactions. I saw their integrity in action, sometimes at the expense of the firm—but always what they thought was right. They built their names upon the respect and honesty of these long-term partnerships. To this day, all of us at Stephens work the same way.” — Warren Stephens, CEO

Introducing the All-New 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350
“To say the new 2020 GLE350 is good is akin to saying the Burj Khalifa is tall. It’s a true statement, but you’re leaving out most of the story. The 2020 GLE350 is in fact somewhere between exceptional and superlative. A real heavyweight in the midsize class. Mercedes-Benz’s motto has been “The Best or Nothing for some time now, with the arrival of the all new GLE, the marketing slogan will be speaking the truth.” Motor Trend Magazine nnn “The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 is more than just good – it’s outstanding. Mercedes implemented many improvements for this redesign, leaving nothing untouched. The body has updated styling and a longer wheelbase, with the latter adding stability and extra passenger space. The bevy of advanced technology includes an all-new infotainment system that’s packed with features. Performance and handling also take a serious step up from the previous GLE.” US News World Report
“The Redesigned 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 Gets a Trick New Suspension and a Third-Row Seat. The new fourth-gen model is the most changed since 1997.” Car and Driver nnn “The 2020 GLE350 is about to hit the US showrooms in late spring 2019, and let me tell to all SUV buyers out there, wait for it! This new generation is absolutely ground breaking when it comes to technology. The new infotainment system called MBUX is stunning to look at and I wondered ow I lived before with the selfdriving capabilities offered in these kind of vehicles.” Top Speed Magazine nnn “It’s hard to get excited about a mid-size luxury SUV. But when one does it almost perfectly, like Mercedes has, it is notable. If you’re in this market, and luxury, comfort and technology are high on your list, I think the 2020 GLE350 is the best option in a group of good utilities.” AutoWeek Magazine

“As mid-size luxury SUVs go, this is about as good as it gets. The GLE is roomy and comfortable, chic and upscale, and reasonably rewarding to drive. It’s a techno-geek’s dream, with options ranging from an active suspension that can bounce the GLE free if it gets stuck to a voice assistant that will explain naughty sex terms. The GLE is all-new for 2020, with updated styling inside and out, new power trains, and a host of new technology. The sheet metal has been updated, though it retains the sharp-looking body-color C-pillar from the old-shape GLE. The new version looks bigger because it is bigger, with a 3.1-inch wheelbase stretch to provide more back seat room. We’re very happy with the styling changes; the old GLE looked a bit milquetoast, the new one has some much-needed presence.” AutoMobile Magazine

HEALTH CARE UAMS RECOGNIZED FOR STROKE CARE EXCELLENCE The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences was recently recognized for excellence in stroke care. The American Heart Association honored the UAMS Stroke Program with the Target: Stroke Elite Honor Roll and the Get with the Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus award. In addition, the Arkansas Department of Health presented the program with the Defect Free Stroke Patient Care award. The Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite award recognizes programs that provide quick and effective treatment for stroke patients. The Get with the Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus honor recognizes programs for maintaining high performance for two or more consecutive years after receiving a gold or silver award. ARKANSAS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL NAMED LEVEL 1 SURGICAL CENTER Arkansas Children’s Hospital has been named a Level 1 Children’s Surgical Center by the American College of Surgeons through its Children’s Surgery Verification Quality Improvement Program (ACS CSV). Arkansas Children’s is one of only 17 children’s hospitals in the United States and the only hospital in Arkansas to receive this designation. The Level 1 Children’s Surgical Center designation, which is valid for three years, is designed to recognize centers whose programs have “enhanced the quality of children’s surgeries, prevented complications, reduced costs, and most importantly, saved lives.” ARKANSAS UROLOGY BREAKS GROUND ON CONWAY FACILITY Local officials and business leaders gathered recently to break ground on the new Arkansas Urology facility in Conway.
The new facility, located on Superior Drive, is scheduled to open in early 2020. It incorporates green building concepts such as sunscreens, highefficiency glazing, LED lighting and high-efficiency HVAC units. The clinic will provide comprehensive urological treatment services to men and women of all ages.
CONWAY REGIONAL ASSUMES MANAGEMENT FOR DARDANELLE HOSPITAL Conway Regional Health System will be assuming management of Dardanelle Hospital, formerly River Valley Medical Center. The health system will now be called Dardanelle Regional Medical Center. Conway Regional Chief Operating Officer Alan Finley will serve as the health system’s site administrator and will be overseeing the hospital’s operations during the transition. However, the health system’s medical team of more than 100 professionals will continue to provide patient care.
was not possible, since molecules of ethanol are formed by carbon-carbon bonds. However, Chen and researchers at Brookhaven were able to identify a chemical pathway to break down these bonds and release electrons, via electrooxidation. These findings provide the possibility of lightweight and efficient ethanol fuel cells as a means of electrical power, separate from “the grid.” Chen and the researchers at Brookhaven’s findings were published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

HEALTH CARE
help wanted Arkansas ranks eighth in the nation for primary care physician need; state’s three medical schools hope to fill the gap. BY DAN MCFADDEN
While the national conversation focuses on health care insurance, there is a related issue of equal concern at hand: a national shortage of physicians. What are the contributing factorws and can Arkansas keep pace with its growing demand for doctors? According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the United States could see a shortage of up to 120,000 physicians by 2030. With the graying of America upon us, the U.S. Census Bureau reports by 2035 the number of older adults 65 and over will outnumber children 18 and under. In addition to an aging population taxing our already stretched too thin health care system, other factors contribute to the primary care physician shortage. AMP | JULY 2019
The Association of American Medical Colleges is predicting a shortage of up to 120,000 physicians in the United States by 2030.
PERFECT STORM Increasing chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, obesity and smoking-related issues rates, along with an aging population, are creating a perfect storm and increasing demand for more primary care physicians and specialty physicians, according to Appathurai Balamurugan (Dr. Bala for short), the state’s chronic disease director and medical director for the Chronic Disease and Tobacco Branch at the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) in Little Rock. Bala points to America’s Health Rankings, reported yearly by the United Health Foundation. “Arkansas has 120.9 primary care physicians per 100,000 population versus the U.S. average of 156.7, placing us eighth in the na-
tion for primary care physician need,” Bala says. Despite ominous national projections, there is a silver lining for Arkansas: the primary care workforce (family practice, general practice and internal medicine physicians, OB/GYNs and pediatricians) is growing even in the face of retiring physicians across the state. The ADH Office of Health Statistics’ Health Professions Manpower Assessment report shows that over an eight-year period, the total count of Arkansas primary care physicians rose by 30 percent from 3,055 in 2010 to 3,966 in 2017. Although the increase is promising, the major challenge is primary care physician geographic distribution across all five Arkansas regions: central,
