Proactive Postpartum Call Center

UAMS’ proactive postpartum call center reaches out to postpartum patients days after delivery to check on their physical and emotional health, answer questions, and coordinate follow-up care. Many Arkansans live far from obstetric services, so this phone-based outreach provides an important touch point that rural patients might not otherwise have. The calls support early recognition of urgent maternal warning signs and help connect families to local providers and community resources.

Mother & Infant Supply Kits

The mother & infant supply kit program provides postpartum and newborn supplies to families across Arkansas. These kits bridge gaps during the early weeks after delivery for families who live far from retail stores, pharmacies, or follow-up care.
