Who We Are
Arkansans for Improving Maternal Health (AIM) is a non-profit organization that strives to raise public awareness, cultivate champions for change, and spur action around the issue of maternal health in Arkansas. We advocate for policies to address existing gaps in maternal health care – before, during, and after pregnancy – and create an environment where every mother and baby have the opportunity to thrive. We believe that strengthening maternal health care in Arkansas will have long-term benefits for families, communities, and the economy in our great state.
