| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 3J: IN ADDITION TO THE ITEMS CHECKED IN BOXES A - I, OTHER INFORMATION WAS INCLUDED IN THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. AS THE ONLY PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS, ACH CONSIDERS ITS COMMUNITY TO BE ALL 710,000 CHILDREN IN THE STATE. THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT CONTAINED INFORMATION ABOUT THE STATEWIDE COALITION IT CONVENES THAT UTILIZES THE COLLECTIVE IMPACT MODEL TO IMPROVE CHILD WELL-BEING, THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL (NWPC). THE NWPC USES THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS ITS COMMON AGENDA FOR IMPROVING CHILD HEALTH IN ARKANSAS, INCLUDING IN AREAS THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT ADDRESS IN LEADERSHIP ROLE. SINCE CHILDREN'S HEALTH IS SO CLOSELY TIED TO ADULT HEALTH, ACH INCLUDED SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE HEALTH STATUS OF ADULTS. THE REPORT CONTAINED "BIG IDEAS AND "VISION" FROM THE QUALITATIVE DATA COLLECTION FOR IMPROVING CHILD HEALTH TO INSPIRE THE WORK THAT RESULTS FROM THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT. THE REPORT CONTAINED INFORMATION ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE ACTIVITIES RESULTING FROM THE PREVIOUS CHNA. |
| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: THE HOSPITAL TOOK A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING CHILD HEALTH AND CONSIDERED BOTH SECONDARY AND PRIMARY DATA AT THE LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND STATE LEVEL AS IT DETERMINED THE HEALTH NEEDS OF ARKANSAS' CHILDREN. SECONDARY DATA SETS REVIEWED INCLUDE THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU, THE ANNIE E. CASEY KIDS' COUNT DATA CENTER, ARKANSAS STATE AGENCY DATABASES, THE YOUTH RISK BEHAVIOR SURVEY, AND A VARIETY OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS' RESEARCH. MEMBERS OF THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL PROVIDED INPUT TO AND FEEDBACK ON THE CHNA AT ALL STAGES OF ITS DEVELOPMENT FROM DESIGN TO INITIAL OUTCOMES TO A FINAL REPORT. MANY MEMBERS ALSO PARTICIPATED BY PROVIDING DATA TO AND INTERVIEWS FOR THE CHNA TEAM. NWPC MEMBERS REPRESENT A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OFFICIALS, THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS'S COLLEGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND CLINTON SCHOOL OF PUBLIC SERVICE, CHILD/CONSUMER ADVOCATES, HEALTH POLICY ORGANIZATIONS, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, RESEARCHERS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS AND THE ARKANSAS HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION, THE STATE'S DEPARTMENTS OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN SERVICES, THE ARKANSAS MINORITY HEALTH COMMISSION, COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AGENCIES, DENTAL INSURANCE PROVIDERS, PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES, THE FAITH COMMUNITY, LOW-INCOME LEGAL SERVICES, A JUVENILE COURT JUDGE, PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, AND A STATEWIDE EDUCATION-FOCUSED COLLECTIVE IMPACT COALITION. ALTHOUGH THE CHNA TEAM DID NOT SEEK FEEDBACK DIRECTLY FROM CHILDREN, MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT AND INPUT FROM A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT THE STATE WAS IMPORTANT TO THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS CHNA. HUNDREDS OF PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS GAVE FEEDBACK ON CHILD HEALTH ASSETS AND NEEDS THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS AND A STATEWIDE TELEPHONE SURVEY. BOTH RURAL AND URBAN POPULATIONS WERE INCLUDED IN THE DATA COLLECTION, AND THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY WAS ABLE TO GIVE FEEDBACK VIA TWO FOCUS GROUPS CONDUCTED IN SPANISH. UNFORTUNATELY, LIMITED PRIMARY DATA WAS COLLECTED FROM THE SMALL BUT UNDERSERVED MARSHALLESE POPULATION IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.THE FOLLOWING DATA SOURCES CONTRIBUTED TO THE WIDE RANGE OF INPUT GATHERED FROM PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS WHO REPRESENT CHILDREN'S HEALTH INTERESTS: ELEVEN FOCUS GROUPS TARGETED TO A DIVERSE POPULATION OF 96 PARENTS AND CHILDREN'S SERVICE PROVIDERS ACROSS ARKANSAS, THIRTY-FOUR KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS TARGETED TO ARKANSAS'S CHILD HEALTH THOUGHT LEADERS AND SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS, AND A TELEPHONE SURVEY OF 400 ARKANSAS PARENTS THAT WAS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT AT THE STATE LEVEL.THE FOCUS GROUPS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE PART OF A UNIFIED METHODOLOGY AND TOGETHER CREATED A STATEWIDE PURPOSEFUL SAMPLING QUALITATIVE DESIGN. THIS METHOD HELPED OBTAIN IN-DEPTH INFORMATION, OPINIONS, AND INSIGHT ABOUT IMPORTANT DIMENSIONS IN HEALTH, HEALTHCARE, AND HEALTH PROMOTION FROM CRITICAL STAKEHOLDERS IN CHILD HEALTH. TOGETHER THEY SELECTED A STATEWIDE SAMPLE TO STUDY CURRENT CHILD HEALTH NEEDS FROM SEVERAL PERSPECTIVES: PARENTS, FRONT LINE PROVIDERS, AND CHILD HEALTH EXPERTS. DIVERSITY IN GEOGRAPHIC AND RURAL/URBAN STATUS WAS PRIORITIZED, AND LANGUAGE DIVERSITY WAS PRIORITIZED BY CONDUCTING TWO FOCUS GROUPS IN SPANISH. FOCUS GROUPS ASSURED ANONYMITY FOR THE PARENTS AND CHILD SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO PARTICIPATED, SO NAMES WERE NOT COLLECTED. THE 34 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS REACHED PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS, HEALTH POLICY EXPERTS, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND ADMINISTRATORS, NONPROFIT EXECUTIVES, STATE AGENCY LEADS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, RESEARCHERS, AND HEALTH INSURANCE REPRESENTATIVES. THE TELEPHONE SURVEY OF PARENTS DID NOT COLLECT NAMES FROM PARTICIPANTS. |
| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 6B: ACH CONDUCTED ITS NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL, WHO ALL PARTICIPATE IN A COLLECTIVE IMPACT EFFORT TO IMPROVE CHILD HEALTH USING THE CHNA AS THE COMMON AGENDA FOR CHILD HEALTH PRIORITIES AND INTERVENTIONS. MANY USE THE CHNA AS PART OF THEIR OWN NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, INCLUDING THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THE HOSPITAL ADDRESSED THE 2012 CHNA ISSUES IS BELOW. THIS SECTION WILL ALSO INCLUDE INFORMATION FROM TAX YEAR 2016 SINCE THOSE ACTIVITIES ARE BASED ON THE "MOST RECENTLY CONDUCTED CHNA" THAT WAS COMPLETED AT THE END OF TAX YEAR 2015.DURING TAX YEAR 2015/FISCAL YEAR 2016, THE HOSPITAL CONTINUED ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS IN A NUMBER OF AREAS. IN A CAPACITY BUILDING ROLE, AT THE END OF THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR, ACH HAD COMPLETED WORK WITH ITS NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL (NWPC) MEMBERS TO DEVELOP A COLLABORATIVE FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK USING THE COLLECTIVE IMPACT MODEL. THIS FRAMEWORK PROVIDED STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND ENSURED BACKBONE SUPPORT FROM ACH FOR ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN IN ARKANSAS. IN THIS FRAMEWORK, THE ACH CHNA IS USED AS THE "COMMON AGENDA" FOR MANY ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TOGETHER TO IMPROVE CHILD HEALTH IN ARKANSAS. THE NWPC SELECTED AN INITIAL "SHARED MEASUREMENT SYSTEM" OF DATA INDICATORS AND "MUTUALLY REINFORCING ACTIVITIES" FRAMED AS MEASURABLE GOALS TO MOVE FORWARD SHARED STRATEGIES.

FOLLOWING THE APPROVAL OF THE MOST RECENT CHNA, ACH WORKED WITH ALL ISSUE AREAS TO UPDATE THE FRAMEWORK WITH A NEW COMMON AGENDA, SHARED MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, AND MUTUALLY REINFORCING ACTIVITIES THAT WILL BE USED FOR THE 3-YEAR CHNA CYCLE. BY OCTOBER 2016 (TAX YEAR 2016), ACH HAD COMPLETED ITS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR FY17 - FY19 (TAX YEARS 16-18). IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL LEADERSHIP, A 3-YEAR PLAN WAS DEVELOPED TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS IN THE COORDINATING CHNA. AS THE NWPC BACKBONE AGENCY, TO HELP MOVE THE ISSUES AND RESOLUTIONS FORWARD, THE HOSPITAL APPROVED A NEW $200,000 "INNOVATION FUND" FOR THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL, WHICH IS CURRENTLY BEING DISTRIBUTED THROUGH CONTRACTS TO ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THE CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY. THIS CAPACITY-BUILDING WORK HAS DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED THE FUNCTIONS AROUND COMMUNITY BENEFIT WORK AND CREATED ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURES TO ENSURE PROGRESS IS MADE ON IMPROVING CHILD HEALTH. LASTLY, DURING TAX YEAR 2016, THE HOSPITAL HIRED TWO (2) ADDITIONAL STAFF TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY BENEFIT, THE NWPC, AND PROGRAM EVALUATION FOR INTERNAL AND NWPC INITIATIVES. THREE OTHER NEW STAFF WERE HIRED TO DO RURAL OUTREACH WORK ACROSS ARKANSAS TO ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS FOR NEW COMMUNITY-DRIVEN PROGRAMS, AND A COORDINATOR WAS HIRED FOR THE MEDICAL-LEGAL PARTNERSHIP.

| PART I, LINE 7: | COSTING METHOD - ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH) USES A COST ACCOUNTING (CA) SYSTEM AS THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING COST FOR ITS PATIENTS.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM IS BELOW.THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AT ACH IS A DETAILED PROCEDURE SYSTEM. ALL SERVICES PERFORMED BY PATIENT CARE STAFF HAVE BEEN EVALUATED AS TO THE RESOURCES UTILIZED TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES INCLUDING LABOR, DIRECT MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. IN ADDITION, OVERHEAD TYPE COSTS (BUILDING, UTILITIES, PAYROLL, ETC.) HAVE ALSO BEEN ALLOCATED TO THESE SERVICES. THE TWO COMPONENTS, DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS, ARE COMBINED AND REPRESENT THE TOTAL COST TO PROVIDE EACH SERVICE. THIS IS DONE ON A PROCEDURE LEVEL BASIS. AS A PATIENT IS ADMITTED AND INCURS SERVICES (X-RAYS, ROOM & BOARD, LAB, ETC.), THE APPLICABLE PROCEDURE COSTS ARE ASSIGNED TO EACH PARTICULAR PATIENT.

| PART III, LINE 2: | THE BAD DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE EXPENSEFOR PATIENTS WHO ARE LIKELY TO QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. AT YEAREND, ALL ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBT ARE SENT TO TRANSUNION FORCREDIT ANALYSIS. THOSE WITH CREDIT SCORES OF 620 AND BELOW ARERECLASSIFIED AS CHARITY SINCE THESE WOULD LIKELY QUALIFY FOR FINANCIALASSISTANCE HAD THE FAMILIES FURNISHED SUFFICIENT INFORMATION.

THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ACUTE ADULT PATIENTS IS TYPICALLY GREATER THAN THE REIMBURSEMENT THAT MEDICARE ALLOWS ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT.

| PART VI, LINE 2: | ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL HAS BEEN CONDUCTING REGULAR NEEDS ASSESSMENTS OF THE STATUS OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH IN ARKANSAS SINCE 2006, WITH THE MOST RECENT CHNA AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ISSUED IN 2016. PLEASE SEE PART V, SECTION B FOR RELATED DETAILS AND DISCUSSION.BUILDING ON YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ASSESSING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL'S EFFORTS, ACH'S CHNA IS VERY COMPREHENSIVE AND REACHES STATEWIDE. HOWEVER, CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS HAS DRIVEN ADDITIONAL EFFORTS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE HEALTH CARE FOR CHILDREN AND TO EDUCATE A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS IN ARKANSAS. FOR EXAMPLE, REALIZING THAT SOME HEALTH CARE WORKERS (FROM FIRST RESPONDERS TO SMALL HOSPITALS' STAFF MEMBERS) WERE UNFAMILIAR WITH PEDIATRIC PROTOCOLS, ACH HAS WORKED TO EDUCATE PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH SIMULATION EDUCATION. SCHOOL NURSES IDENTIFIED CERTAIN AREAS, SUCH AS TRACHEOSTOMY CARE, IN WHICH THEY FELT THEY NEEDED ADDITIONAL EDUCATION, AND ACH PARTNERED WITH THE AR DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO MEET THOSE NEEDS THROUGH THE SCHOOL NURSE ACADEMY. ACH SUPPORT OF CAMPS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS IS ALSO DRIVEN BY STAFF MEMBERS WHO WORK IN SPECIALTY CLINICS AND INPATIENT UNITS EACH DAY. MEDICAL STAFF ALSO COLLECT AND ANALYZE DATA; FOR EXAMPLE SEVERAL PHYSICIANS COLLECT DATA FOR CHILDREN'S HEALTH WATCH ON FOOD INSECURITY, HOUSING, AND OTHER BASIC NEEDS.

| PART VI, LINE 3: | ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL'S PATIENT ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT USES ITS BEST EFFORTS TO ASSIST PATIENTS/GUARANTORS IN MEETING THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SERVICES PROVIDED AT ACH. THE ACH POLICY IS TO ACT WITH INTEGRITY IN ALL ENDEAVORS; TREATING ALL PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH DIGNITY, RESPECT, AND COMPASSION.

| PART VI, LINE 4: | AS THE ONLY PEDIATRIC MEDICAL CENTER IN THE STATE, ACH DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE 18 IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS. THOUGH THE HOSPITAL SERVES A SMALL NUMBER OF ADULT PATIENTS WITH PEDIATRIC CHRONIC CONDITIONS OR SEVERE BURNS AND A HANDFUL OF OUT-OF-STATE PATIENTS FOR PARTICULAR HEALTH CONDITIONS, THE MAJORITY OF ITS PATIENTS ARE FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND THE REMAINDER OF THE STATE. ACH DRAWS APPROXIMATELY 70.8% OF ITS OUTPATIENT POPULATION AND 58.7% OF ITS INPATIENT POPULATION FROM THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE (PULASKI COUNTY AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES OF LONOKE, FAULKNER, JEFFERSON, AND SALINE), AS WELL AS FROM WHITE COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS, GARLAND COUNTY IN EAST CENTRAL ARKANSAS, AND BENTON, SEBASTIAN AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE. HOWEVER, ACH SERVES PATIENTS IN EVERY COUNTY ACROSS THE STATE AS WELL.ACH'S CURRENT PHYSICAL LOCATIONS INCLUDE A MAIN CAMPUS AND OUTPATIENT CLINIC IN LITTLE ROCK, A CLINIC IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS, AND A CLINIC IN NORTHEAST ARKANSAS. IN ADDITION, THE HOSPITAL OFFERS REGIONAL CLINICS ACROSS THE STATE ON A PERIODIC BASIS. GROWING TELEMEDICINE CAPABILITIES CONNECT ACH TO OFF-CAMPUS PROVIDERS AND ALLOW REMOTE SITES ACCESS TO SPECIALTIES INCLUDING NEONATOLOGY, EMERGENCY MEDICINE, PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE, BURN, GENETICS, CARDIOLOGY, AND PULMONOLOGY. BASED ON THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU 2010 CENSUS DATA, POPULATION TOTALS WERE 2,915,918 FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS AND 382,748 FOR PULASKI COUNTY. ESTIMATED 2015 CENSUS DATA INDICATED POPULATION TOTALS TO BE 2,978,204 FOR ARKANSAS AND 392,664 FOR PULASKI COUNTY. ALSO ACCORDING TO ESTIMATED 2015 CENSUS DATA, APPROXIMATELY 23.7% OF THE ARKANSAS POPULATION WAS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND 6.4% WAS UNDER THE AGE OF 5. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2015 WAS 5.2%. THE PER CAPITA PERSONAL INCOME FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR 2015 WAS $22,798. THE PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE IN POVERTY IN AR WAS 19.3% AND THE PERCENT OF CHILDREN 18 OR YOUNGER IN POVERTY WAS 27.6%, INDICATING VERY LITTLE CHANGE FROM THE PRIOR YEAR.ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH) DEFINES ITS COMMUNITY AS ALL CHILDREN WHO RESIDE IN THE STATE. CHILDREN SERVED BY ACH COME FROM DIVERSE COMMUNITIES, RANGING FROM NORTHWEST ARKANSAS' BOOMING BUSINESS INDUSTRY TO THE PERSISTENT POVERTY OF THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA. RACIAL AND ETHNIC SUBCULTURES VARY ACROSS THE STATE INCLUDING A GROWING HISPANIC POPULATION IN THE NORTH AND WEST TO A LARGER AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION IN THE SOUTH AND EAST. IN GENERAL, ARKANSAS CHILDREN FARE WORSE THAN OTHERS IN THE U.S. IN TERMS OF HEALTH RISK FACTORS AND OUTCOMES, HIGHLIGHTING A NEED FOR INVESTMENTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES. DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF LARGE PRIVATE EMPLOYERS INCLUDING THE CORPORATE HOMES FOR WAL-MART, TYSON FOODS, AND JONES TRUCK LINES, AND A STRONG AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY, THE CONSEQUENCES OF POVERTY ARE FELT IN MOST COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE.THE ESTIMATED 703,792 ARKANSAS CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 REPRESENTED 23.7% OF THE STATE'S TOTAL POPULATION FOR 2015. DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS OCCUR RAPIDLY; THE HISPANIC CHILD POPULATION GREW DRAMATICALLY FROM 3.0% AS REPORTED IN THE 2000 CENSUS TO 9.3% AS REPORTED IN THE 2010 CENSUS, AND THE NUMBER OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 ALSO GREW FROM 15.7% TO 19.3% DURING THE SAME PERIOD. ESTIMATES FOR 2015 INDICATE THAT THE HISPANIC CHILD POPULATION IN ARKANSAS WAS 11.4% AND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILD POPULATION WAS 18.5%. THE RATE OF POVERTY IN ARKANSAS (2015 ESTIMATE) WAS APPROXIMATELY 19.1%, WITH APPROXIMATELY 27% OF CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 AND 32% OF CHILDREN UNDER AGE 5 LIVING IN POVERTY. WITH A PRIMARILY RURAL POPULATION LIVING IN MANY SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED COMMUNITIES, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE SERVICES PRESENTS A VERY REAL CHALLENGE. ARKANSAS HAS SEEN A LARGE DECLINE IN UNINSURED CHILDREN SINCE 1990, WITH 5.4% OF CHILDREN LACKING COVERAGE AS OF 2015. ARKANSAS' "ARKIDS FIRST" HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM HAS BEEN A MAJOR FACTOR IN PROVIDING HEALTH INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN WHO MAY HAVE OTHERWISE GONE WITHOUT. ARKIDS FIRST WAS DESIGNED BY THE STATE OF ARKANSAS TO PROVIDE INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN OF WORKING FAMILIES WHO EARNED TOO MUCH FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE BUT COULD NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE HEALTH INSURANCE. |
