The Governor Sidney S. McMath Endowment supports the Center for the Study of Obesity. Created by the McMath Woods Law Firm, it fosters and enhances obesity-related research, contributes to the Center’s development, and provides leadership in developing a plan that addresses Arkansas’ significant nutrition and diet-related problems.
Known as the father of modern-day UAMS, Governor McMath (1912-2003) championed reform laws and policies to improve the lives of his fellow Arkansans. In that same spirit, the Center is dedicated to improving the lives of Arkansans through its fight against obesity.
