We are thankful for our collaboration with the Arkansas Perinatal Quality Collaborative! Together, we’re working to strengthen the systems that support women throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Through the Postpartum CARE Initiative, hospitals ensure that every mother receives the postpartum care, education, and support she needs after birth. This work is vital, the weeks following delivery are a critical window for addressing complications, supporting mental health, and connecting families to ongoing care and community resources.

By partnering with ARPQC and other dedicated maternal health leaders, we’re creating a coordinated approach that improves outcomes and ensures every woman in Arkansas has access to the care she deserves — before, during, and after birth. 💜
