UAMS receives building from Schmieding Foundation
The Schmieding Foundation in Springdale has donated the $4.85 million building that houses the UAMS Schmieding Center for Senior Health and Education in Springdale to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
The Schmieding Center started Jan. 1, 1999, when Lawrence H. Schmieding gave UAMS more than $15 million to operate health and education programs for senior citizens of Northwest Arkansas and to train home caregivers so older Arkansans could age at home.
The Schmieding Foundation designed and built the current 27,500-square-foot facility at 2422 N. Thompson St. in 2002. The building includes a 125-seat auditorium, a geriatric medical clinic wing operated by Washington Regional and an education wing that includes an Aging Resource Center.
