KENT McKELVEY, JR., M.D. HEAD OF UAMS DIVISION OF GEMETICS
Alongside members of the Arkansas Down Syndrome Association, Kent D. McKelvey, Jr., M.D. has been instrumental in the creation of an adult genetics clinic at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). The clinic is designed to care for adolescents and adults with Down syndrome, as well as other genetic conditions.
The Arkansas Down Syndrome Association was incorporated in Arkansas in 2004 by a group of parents and others who were seeking more comprehensive health care for their children. As their children grew into adulthood, these parents recognized that health care services often overlooked the special needs of adults with Down Syndrome. Establishing a health clinic that will serve adults with Down Syndrome is a primary goal of the Association.
