Arkansas Money & Politics: NEW ARKANSAS ORGANIZATION ADVOCATES FOR BETTER MATERNAL HEALTH CARE

A new maternal health nonprofit organization has launched a digital platform for Arkansas parents to share their personal experiences before, during and after pregnancy. Maternal healthcare includes prenatal care, safe delivery and postpartum support like mental healthcare.

‍

Driven by research that shows Arkansas has the highest maternal mortality rate in the nation and that healthy moms lead to healthier families and stronger communities, Arkansans for Improving Maternal Health (AIM) is gathering stories from families impacted by poor maternal health outcomes. The organization will amplify these stories to raise public awareness, cultivate champions for change and spur action to improve maternal health care access, affordability and quality. Arkansans are encouraged to visit AIMforArkansas.org to share their stories, connect with other parents and learn more about the challenges facing our state.
