The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) has received a federal grant of nearly $4 million to reduce maternity-associated health problems and deaths in Ashley and Union counties in south Arkansas.
The grant, awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), will fund a rural maternity and obstetrics management program called HEART Moms, which stands for Helping Expand Access to Rural maternal health care Transformation for Moms.
“HEART Moms will directly serve rural women who are pregnant or are hoping to become pregnant by bringing comprehensive, team-based care closer to home and building a maternal health system that lasts beyond the grant period,”
