Reports On Health Problems in Arkansas

The Arkansas Department of Health’s new report on Arkansas’s Big Health Problems and How We Plan to Solve Them is now available. We invite you to read it and use it to get involved in public health. We are happy to take your comments and answer any questions you may have.

This report provides an overview of the health problems in Arkansas. The health problems discussed are life expectancy, infant mortality and health literacy. Other chapters address important issues that affect our health such as living in rural Arkansas, having unequal opportunities and growing factors that may affect how our health problems are solved. Also, the report meets two of the three prerequisites for applying for public health accreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board.
