Arkansas is home to more than 2.7 million people and more than 48,500 babies are born each year to add to this number. Unfortunately, more than half a million Arkansans are uninsured, but with the wide availability of innovative health insurance policies, there is something for everyone.

Arkansas Health Facts and Insurance Needs

More than 18 percent of Arkansas' mothers-to-be do not receive proper prenatal care. Consequently, more than 3500 babies are born with low birth weight—a whopping 9 percent of all births—and 13 percent are born prematurely. In the first 35 months of life, only 70 percent receive the immunizations they need, a full 10 percent fewer than the national average.

As they grow older, the state of health for many of Arkansas' children does not improve: 16 percent are overweight or obese and only 49 percent visited both a dentist and a primary care physician last year, again, 10 percent fewer than the national average.
