Faces of Arkansas: The Face of Emergency Medicine, Conway Regional Emergency Department

 

Dr. Wade Gregory has practiced Emergency Medicine at Conway Regional for nine years. He went to college in Fayetteville at the University of Arkansas and came back for medical school at UAMS in Little Rock. 

 

He has experienced a host of unbelievable events, including helping international media through interviews during the aftermath of a devastating F4 tornado in 2014. Gregory and fellow Conway Regional physicians and nurses treated more than 100 patients in the Conway Regional emergency room within a few hours.

 

“The moment I enrolled in medical school, I knew I wanted to practice emergency medicine. It is the type of medicine that fits my style. It changes every day and there’s always something new,” Gregory says. “I came to Conway after my wife, Jenny, had already started a medical practice in Little Rock. Conway was the perfect opportunity; a town that was growing with an established emergency department. I love learning and growing together with Conway.”

 

Gregory grew up in rural Augusta on the family farm. His family has managed the same farm in the area for 200 years, and Gregory says his agricultural upbringing shaped his life from a very young age.

 

“My parents and my upbringing provided me with a strong work ethic and a need to give back to others in return for the blessings I’d been given. I always knew I needed to do something that was going to stimulate my mind,” Gregory says. “It keeps me motivated to practice a style of medicine that puts me in a position to help those at their time of greatest need.”
