Arkansas Launches Maternal Life360 | Little Rock News

Arkansas is launching a bold new initiative, Maternal Life360, to combat its alarming maternal and infant health crisis — with preterm birth rates and infant mortality far above national averages. This collaborative program, starting at Mercy Northwest Arkansas, connects healthcare teams, community partners, and state agencies to support high-risk moms enrolled in ARHOME Medicaid, offering regular check-ins, health assessments, and critical resources like food, diapers, and transportation. Designed to tackle both medical and social needs, it’s part of a broader Life360 strategy that also supports rural mental health and youth poverty prevention. With most pregnancy-related deaths occurring postpartum and preventable, this statewide effort aims to turn the tide — even as officials navigate potential changes to ARHOME services, they’re confident current providers won’t be affected.
