OrthoArkansas Expands Services with the Opening of New Rheumatology Center

LITTLE ROCK April 4, 2024 – OrthoArkansas announced today it will be adding a new
Rheumatology Center with a team of rheumatology specialists of more than 20
years combined experience at the Little Rock-Midtown, North Little Rock and
Conway locations.
“Our new Rheumatology Center represents an exciting milestone for OrthoArkansas
as we continue to broaden our scope of services and enhance our ability to care for
individuals with musculoskeletal conditions,” said Dr. Tad Pruitt, Co-President at
OrthoArkansas. “Rheumatology and orthopedics are inherently connected, and by
integrating rheumatology services into our practice, we can offer patients a seamless
continuum of care.”
Patients will have access to a comprehensive range of services within the
Rheumatology Center, including treatment, infusions, labs, and imaging – all in one
place. The center ensures that patients receive the highest quality care in a familiar
and comfortable setting.
The Rheumatology team is dedicated to providing personalized, holistic care to
improve the lives of patients.
“I truly enjoy getting to know my patients personally including every aspect of their
life that affects their health. I feel strongly that it is my mission to help diagnose, treat
and educate patients in a manner that empowers them to take charge of their
health and wellbeing. Learning to live with a chronic illness can feel daunting but
with a great medical team we can provide the support they need to stay focused on
their life and not their illness, “ said Debra Brent, APRN at OrthoArkansas.
OrthoArkansas is inviting all media for a walkthrough of the new rheumatology
center at the Little Rock-Midtown location on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 12
p.m. Drinks and refreshments will be provided.
