Little Rock, Ark. (Sept. 19, 2024) – U.S. Sen. John Boozman and Arkansans for Improving Maternal Health (AIM) are calling for immediate action to address the critical gaps in maternal health care across Arkansas, as highlighted by the latest March of Dimes report.

Arkansas currently ranks sixth in the nation for the highest number of maternity care deserts, with over half of its counties lacking a birthing facility or obstetric clinician. This severe lack of access also contributes to Arkansas’s second-worst “maternity access score” ranking in the country, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive health care solutions for Arkansas mothers.

“We must change these troubling statistics. The good news is there is a shared urgency among medical providers, non-profit organizations and elected leaders to elevate maternal care in Arkansas. I will continue to be part of this crucial conversation and champion federal investments to enhance services to expecting mothers and newborns so we can save lives,” Boozman said.

With the lowest number of obstetric clinicians per 10,000 births and the fewest births attended by Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNM/CM), Arkansas’s gaps in resources pose significant barriers to essential maternal care for women, especially those in rural and underserved communities.

“Addressing these gaps is not just a matter of policy, it’s a matter of life and death for too many mothers and babies in Arkansas,” said Ashley Bearden Campbell, executive director of AIM. “AIM is committed to working with all stakeholders to create a better future for Arkansas,” she continued.

AIM had the privilege of touring Northeast Arkansas and seeing the incredible community efforts underway to support maternal and infant health. At The Parent Hub, an innovative organization of community members dedicated to addressing the needs of students and families in collaboration with White River Health System and Batesville School District, we learned about broad array of services and support they offer. The Parent Hub is a wonderful and welcoming space where families can come together to obtain information and resources, such as breastfeeding classes, diapers and car seats, translators and assistance navigating financial assistance and their new in-home Parents-as-Teachers program. From newborn care to support for moms navigating early childhood, this collaboration is creating a nurturing environment for families to thrive.

$\"\"$

At St. Bernards Healthcare, we saw an exceptional model of comprehensive maternal care in action. With three clinic locations and plans to expand, St. Bernards ensures that every mom, no matter her insurance status, has access to essential prenatal and postnatal care. I was especially moved by their commitment to underserved communities and their mental health initiatives, like postpartum depression screenings, support groups and counseling. Through their partnerships with the Angels Program for telehealth maternal care and the Nurse Family Partnership for in-home visits, they provide ongoing care well beyond childbirth, ensuring both moms and babies are supported for the long run. This is truly a one stop shop for moms to access comprehensive, high-quality care from passionate professionals starting from the moment they have a positive pregnancy test to post-pregnancy.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (September 5, 2024) — Arkansans for Improving Maternal Health (AIM), a non-profit dedicated to advancing maternal health care in Arkansas, expresses strong support for the recent recommendations delivered to Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders by the Strategic Committee for Maternal Health.

\"We are thrilled to see the Governor and the Strategic Committee for Maternal Health take such decisive action in response to the pressing needs of mothers and babies in our state,\" said Ashley Bearden Campbell, executive director of AIM. \"This report lays the groundwork for meaningful changes that will have a profound impact on the health and well-being of countless Arkansas families.\"

The report, which was developed by a diverse group of more than 100 stakeholders over the past six months, offers a comprehensive set of policies, programs and strategies aimed at improving maternal health outcomes. The recommendations focus on key areas such as Medicaid optimization, clinical practice improvements, education and outreach, and the expansion of healthcare access for women and babies across Arkansas.

“AIM looks forward to supporting the implementation of these recommendations and continuing to work alongside state leaders, healthcare providers and community organizations to ensure that every mother and baby in Arkansas has the opportunity to thrive,” said Bearden Campbell.

Key recommendations from the report include the development of a maternal health dashboard to track critical health indicators, enhancements to Medicaid reimbursement rates, the implementation of presumptive eligibility for Medicaid-eligible pregnant women, and the creation of pathways for Medicaid coverage of doulas and community health workers. These initiatives are designed to remove barriers to care and ensure that all women have access to the support they need before, during and after pregnancy.

\"We commend the collaborative effort that has gone into these recommendations,\" continued Bearden Campbell. \"These recommendations represent a crucial step forward in addressing the challenges faced by pregnant women, new mothers and infants throughout the state.”

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (August 23, 2024) — This August, Arkansans for Improving Maternal Health (AIM) is proud to celebrate National Breastfeeding Month through the launch of its new digital breastfeeding resource guide to help support Arkansas mothers and babies.

“Outcomes are deeply influenced by the support and resources available to us, especially in the early days of parenting,” said Sondra Rodocker, IBCLC, co-founder and treasurer of the board of directors of the Doula Alliance of Arkansas. “When new parents have access to essential resources like breastfeeding/lactation support, educational tools and a caring community, the benefits – including better health, less stress and the confidence to make informed decisions – are undeniable. Without these, many moms may struggle with feelings of inadequacy that can impact their ability to care for themselves and their new baby. By investing in these resources, we’re giving every mother and baby the best possible start, helping to create healthier, happier families and communities.”

AIM’s new guide provides best practices and tips for a successful breastfeeding experience. It covers key topics including the benefits and challenges of breastfeeding, the relationship between mental health and breastfeeding, alternative feeding options and a list of local Arkansas resources for moms.

“We believe access to reliable and comprehensive information is crucial for mothers across the state who are choosing to breastfeed,” said AIM Executive Director Ashley Bearden Campbell. “Our digital resource guide is designed to be a one-stop resource for mothers as they navigate the journey of breastfeeding.”

With one of the worst overall maternal health rankings in the nation and the lowest ranking in maternal mortality, Arkansas lags behind in offering the resources available in other states. A newly formed advocacy group aims to change that.

The Doula Alliance of Arkansas announced its launch Wednesday, Aug. 7, in Little Rock. It hopes to improve maternal health outcomes by advancing the profession of birth work, improving access to high-quality doula services across the state and providing a professional support system for Arkansas doulas, according to a press release by the group.

“Establishing the Doula Alliance of Arkansas is a transformative step toward addressing our state’s maternal health crisis,” said Olivia Walton, founder and CEO of Ingeborg Initiatives, which focuses on improving maternal health and women’s economic empowerment in Arkansas. “As Arkansas faces the highest maternal mortality rate in the nation, the Alliance creates a vital partnership between doulas and physicians, providing an added layer of support for moms during pregnancy and the challenging postpartum period. Ingeborg Initiatives is proud to support this collaborative effort to ensure that every mother receives the comprehensive, compassionate care she deserves.”

The alliance’s founding board includes seven Arkansas doulas and several members of the midwife and physician communities. The members include:

\nNicolle Fletcher, doula, chairperson
\nCora Crain, doula, vice chairperson
\nLiyah Wasson, doula, secretary
\nSondra Rodocker, doula, treasurer
\nKwaeisi Golliday, doula
\nChristina Green, an OB-GYN at Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton
\nSarita Hendrix, doula
\nNirvana Manning, professor and chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Medicine
\nJamie Washington, doula

Founded by a $250,000 seed grant from Ingeborg Initiatives, the funds are facilitated by the Arkansas Community Foundation with Excel by Eight acting as advisors to the organization.

“We are excited about the partnership with the Doula Alliance of Arkansas and are grateful for Ingeborg’s dedication to improving maternal health care in Arkansas,” Manning said. “The maternal health crisis in Arkansas is complicated, and there’s unfortunately not just one solution that will fix the problem. The creation of the Doula Alliance of Arkansas is a positive step in the right direction. By bringing together doulas and healthcare providers, we can create a more integrated approach to maternal care that benefits all mothers and families in Arkansas and will help us create a lasting impact.”

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (July 24, 2024)—Today, State Representative Mary Bentley joined Arkansans for Improving Maternal Health (AIM) in celebrating International Self-Care Day and recognizing the critical role self-care plays in maternal health.

“Maternal health is a cornerstone of a healthy society. Adequate self-care for mothers is an investment in the future of our communities. I am excited to see the energy across our state coming together in our maternal task force to get real help for Women in Arkansas. We can do better to take care of our mothers so that their families and our communities can continue to thrive,” said Representative Mary Bentley.

Ashley Bearden Campbell, executive director of AIM, stated, “Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury, especially for new mothers. Women’s physical, emotional and mental health relies heavily on self-care and directly impacts the health of their babies.”

A strong network that supports mental health, good nutrition, physical activity, timely medical care and other tools is necessary for well-rounded self-care for mothers. For those in our underserved communities in Arkansas, access to these resources can often be limited.

“AIM is committed to working alongside Arkansas’s state legislators to address these disparities,” Bearden Campbell continued. “We advocate for comprehensive access to healthcare, education and community support systems.”

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (July 11, 2024) - As part of its mission to help improve maternal health in Arkansas, AIM has partnered closely with Baptist Health’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) this past month to support mothers and babies.

In early June, AIM was a proud participant and sponsor of Baptist Health’s 3rd annual NICU reunion, an event that celebrates former NICU babies and parents and the healthcare heroes who cared for them. Over 500 families and hospital staff celebrated this momentous occasion.

AIM continued its support of Baptist Health’s NICU with a donation of handheld mirrors and notebooks for mothers to use when visiting their babies in the NICU.

\"This thoughtful contribution will help to further enhance the support that parents receive as we provide care to the tiniest and most vulnerable patients,\" said Nicki Knowles, Director of Women’s and Children’s Services at Baptist Health. \"We cannot thank our donors enough for their commitment to our mission.\"

AIM Executive Director Ashley Bearden Campbell said, “As a mom who has spent many hours at this very NICU during the start of my daughter’s life, I am honored to be able to support Baptist Health through AIM. The nurses and staff were remarkable during our 70-day stay and took amazing care of my daughter while also helping me through my postpartum journey. As many NICU moms quickly learn, skin-to-skin time, also known as kangaroo care, is very important for bonding. A handheld mirror may not seem like much, but when your baby is in a fragile state, this important tool allows you to visually connect, monitor and safely provide comfort to your baby. Additionally, having a journal to document my daughter’s progress, write down questions and keep track of her care team was incredibly helpful, as phones are typically limited or not permitted in the NICU. As AIM continues to focus on taking care of moms before, during and after pregnancy, our hope is that this donation will positively impact families throughout their NICU and postpartum journeys.”

Today, we celebrate the dads who play an essential role in the lives of their children and families. Your love and support are invaluable not only to your children but also to the health and well-being of moms across Arkansas.

Healthy moms are the cornerstone of healthy and happy families and communities. From providing emotional support during pregnancy to being active in childcare during the postpartum period and beyond, dads have a significant impact on supporting their partners’ maternal health.

“My husband is more than just a great dad; he and I are truly teammates,” said AIM Executive Director, Ashley Bearden Campbell. She continued, “He was my advocate in the hospital, the calm throughout the storm of my mental health journey, and is an equal partner when it comes to caring for our daughter. His love and support have made me a better mom, wife, advocate and person.”

Today, we encourage dads to share their stories, advocate for their partners, and talk about why maternal health is more than just a woman’s issue.

Father’s Day is an opportunity to honor the role men play in supporting and caring for their families. It is a reminder to cherish the values that we hold dear in Arkansas: family, faith, and community.

As a father of three boys, I am grateful for the blessing of being able to raise a family with my incredible wife, to share in the lives of families in my community, and to have the opportunity to make a difference in the way we take care of moms through my work as a state representative.

While Father’s Day is a special time to reflect on the memories with our children and tell our best “dad jokes,” it’s also an opportunity to highlight the important role dads, and men in general, must play in supporting the maternal health of our wives, daughters, sisters and friends through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

When we think about maternal health, we often focus on medical care, nutrition and prenatal visits. While these are undeniably important, the emotional and practical support provided by fathers is equally vital. New dads, experienced dads, and granddads for that matter significantly contribute to the health and happiness of their partners and the family unit in numerous ways. Actively participating in infant and toddler care, picking up the slack to help make the household run, taking the initiative in household chores, and providing unwavering emotional support are just a few of the ways dads can make a positive impact.

Emotional support is a critical aspect in maternal health and an issue I am passionate about. Pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period are times of immense emotional upheaval. Fathers who provide a listening ear, offer encouragement, show patience and stand as steadfast pillars of support help create a secure and loving atmosphere. This emotional foundation provides a bedrock for mothers to feel confident and capable in their new roles.

Maternal health is not just a women’s issue, but a family issue. We know that healthy moms lead to healthier babies, families, and communities and it is time to step up and take charge as our state has the highest maternal mortality rate in the country. It is our community’s responsibility to work together to improve maternal health for Arkansans, and as a pro-life state, this is an issue we need to fix.

I applaud our state’s commitment to finding solutions and pursuing initiatives that improve maternal health here in Arkansas and am encouraged by groups like Arkansans for Improving Maternal Health (AIM) that are raising awareness around this very important issue.

As a father, health clinic administrator, and proud representative of the 45th district, I have focused much of my career on improving maternal health and it is part of my mission to continue to make Arkansas a better place to have babies and raise a family.

I am proud to have sponsored and passed legislation that provides coverage and reimbursement for new mothers to get screened for depression to ensure moms get the care they need to have a healthy postpartum period, opened Arkansas’ first milk bank with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences to provide a ready supply of donor milk for infants in the NICU, and work to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage.

As we celebrate Father’s Day this Sunday, let’s remember that maternal health is a family issue, and together, we can make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
