About Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies

Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies is designed to strengthen support for mothers, infants and families across Arkansas. By improving access to care and coordinating services across healthcare providers, public health agencies and community partners, the program helps more Arkansas families receive the support they need for healthy pregnancies and healthier beginnings.

Under Healthy Moms Healthy Babies, programs such as WIC, home visiting services, early childhood programs, and behavioral health providers build a coordinated system of care. Together, these efforts reduce health disparities, improve maternal and infant outcomes, and support healthy Arkansas families during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.
