  • Jill McCollum Flaxman, MD an Anesthesiologist and Pain Management Specialist with CHI St. Vincent Infirmary

New York City, New York Nov 17, 2023 (Issuewire.com)  - Dr. Flaxman is a board certified anesthesiologist and pain management physician with more than 20 years of diverse experience. She currently serves as the Medical Director of Perioperative Services at CHI St. Vincent Infirmary in Little Rock, Arkansas, where she also holds a position on the Board of Directors. 

Her affiliations extend to hospitals including CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs, CHI St. Vincent Morrilton, and CHI St. Vincent North.

Serving in various leadership positions for her anesthesia group and for CHI St. Vincent, Dr. Flaxman knows that collaboration amongst specialties and instituting best care practices dramatically improves patient care and outcomes. She has been a driving force in successfully changing medical care models, and she aims to improve pain management in Arkansas by using her Whole Person Pain Care mode.

Graduating from the UAMS College of Medicine in 1999, Dr. Flaxman completed her residency in anesthesiology at the same institution, during which she received the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) Award and was appointed Chief Resident.

Prior to her current position, she dedicated 17 years as a cardiovascular anesthesiologist with Southern Regional Anesthesiology Consultants (SRAC) and notably held an extended tenure as the CEO for SRAC.

Board certified in anesthesiology, Dr. Flaxman is a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA). As the certifying body for anesthesiologists since 1938, the ABA is committed to partnering with physicians to advance lifelong learning and exceptional patient care. Its mission is to advance the highest standards of the practice of OR anesthesiology and interventional/medical pain management.

In addition to her anesthesiology certification, Dr. Flaxman is certified in advanced perioperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) by the National Board of Echocardiography, highlighting her expertise in this specialized area.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient’s respiration.

Pain management is a branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with chronic pain. A pain management specialist is a doctor who specializes in pain medicine, focusing on the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of pain.

Attributing her success to tenacity, Dr. Flaxman says “I never give up. I’ve always been open-minded; I tend to think outside the box. I believe in providing service and excellence, so I hand picked my staff because they believe in and provide that for our patients.”

On a more personal note, Dr. Flaxman shares a fulfilling life with her husband, Jon Flaxman. They are proud parents to two sons, with the eldest diagnosed with high-functioning autism in his early childhood. This experience has motivated them to champion improved access to resources for children and families facing social and behavioral developmental delays. As founders of the Arkansas Autism Foundation, they are dedicated to supporting and advocating for these individuals and their families.
