The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) will provide contraceptive services and reproductive health education to women living in rural Arkansas counties in an effort to prevent unintended pregnancies and to improve access to women’s health care in Arkansas.
Through a private philanthropic grant awarded to the UAMS Institute for Community Health Innovation, UAMS will deploy mobile health units — vehicles equipped to provide services such as health screenings, prenatal care services and vaccinations — to provide contraceptives and education to women living in 14 counties.
By providing contraceptive services in those counties — Carroll, Ashley, Little River, Lee, Madison, Miller, Ouachita, Phillips, Newton, Sebastian, Sevier, St. Francis, Union and Washington — UAMS aims to eliminate barriers women may currently experience when trying to receive contraception, such as transportation, costs and language and cultural barriers.
“The institute will work with organizations and clinics in the 14 counties to help schedule appointments for women ahead of the mobile unit’s visit.
