Maternal health in Arkansas has been a major focus of ACHI’s efforts since early 2023. In an interview with Robyn Ledbetter for AFMC TV, ACHI Health Policy Director Craig Wilson discusses our analyses of factors that contribute to poor health outcomes for Arkansas mothers and infants, including perinatal depression, severe maternal morbidity, long travel times to birthing facilities, and disruptions in healthcare coverage.
ACHI is seeking to help policymakers make informed, evidence-based decisions by providing clear information on each step of the birthing journey in Arkansas. View our efforts in this area on our Maternal and Infant Health topic page.
