| 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 HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND ONE OF ONLY TWO PEDIATRIC HOSPITALS IN ARKANSAS, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (ACH) CONSIDERS ITS COMMUNITY TO BE ALL CHILDREN UNDER AGE 21 LIVING IN THE STATE. IN 2025, THIS INCLUDED MORE THAN 850,000 CHILDREN ACROSS 75 COUNTIES. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL, A DIVERSE COALITION OF CHILD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORK TOGETHER TO IMPROVE CHILD HEALTH. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CHNA'S INFORM THE GOALS AND ACTION PLANS OF THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL. IN LIMITED CASES, ACH ACCESSED AND INCLUDED ADULT DATA IN THE CHNA TO HELP DEVELOP A CLEAR PICTURE OF SPECIFIC ISSUES. THE REPORT ALSO CONTAINS "BIG IDEAS" FROM COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TO HELP INSPIRE THE WORK THAT RESULTS FROM THE CHNA. |
| ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL | PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, ADVOCACY, AND HEALTH DIVISION CONDUCTED THE 2025 STATEWIDE CHNA. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S CONTRACTED WITH BOYETTE STRATEGIC ADVISORS AND ETC INSTITUTE FOR PORTIONS OF THE CHNA. THIS TEAM REVIEWED ALL IRS REQUIREMENTS FOR THE 2025 ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPED A REVISED, THOROUGH PROCESS FOR COLLECTING AND ANALYZING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA TO INFORM DECISIONS ON CURRENT CHILDREN'S HEALTH NEEDS IN ARKANSAS. A WIDE VARIETY OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND CHILD HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS PROVIDED INPUT, REVIEWED AND VETTED THE METHODS, DATA, PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, AND FINDINGS OF THE ASSESSMENT.BOYETTE BEGAN COLLECTING AND MONITORING SECONDARY DATA IN MARCH 2024, WHILE PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION COMMENCED IN THE SUMMER OF 2024. ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE PARTICIPANTS SHARED THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON ARKANSAS' MOST CRITICAL CHILD HEALTH ISSUES THROUGH PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION AND COMMUNITY LISTENING. STAKEHOLDERS PROVIDED FEEDBACK EITHER THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN FOCUS GROUPS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, OR A PARENT AND CAREGIVER DIGITAL SURVEY. IN ADDITION, ONE OF THE GOALS FOR THE 2025 CHNA WAS TO INCORPORATE YOUTH OPINIONS AND VOICES. IN THE FALL OF 2024, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S LAUNCHED AN ONLINE YOUTH SURVEY TO CAPTURE THIS FEEDBACK. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S PARTNERED WITH THE ETC INSTITUTE TO SURVEY PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ABOUT THE HEALTH NEEDS OF CHILDREN IN ARKANSAS. IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2024, ETC COLLECTED 667 RESPONSES FROM A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF HOUSEHOLDS WITH INFANTS AND CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE EIGHTEEN. WITH A 95% CONFIDENCE LEVEL, THE MARGIN OF ERROR FOR THIS SAMPLE WAS +/-3.8.ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S MODELED THE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE YOUTH LISTENING SURVEY AFTER THE PARENT AND CAREGIVER SURVEY AND FIELDED IT IN THE FALL OF 2024. WITH SUPPORT FROM COMMUNITY PARTNERS ACROSS THE STATE, THE TEAM RECRUITED YOUTH AGES 12-18 AND EXCEEDED ITS GOAL OF 100 RESPONSES, COLLECTING 136 SURVEYS. RESPONDENTS WERE PREDOMINANTLY FROM THE NORTHWEST REGION, WITH LOWER PARTICIPATION FROM SOUTHERN REGIONS AND TWO-THIRDS IDENTIFIED AS FEMALE. THE CHNA TEAM REVIEWED RESPONSES AND CODED OPEN-ENDED FEEDBACK TO IDENTIFY THEMES AND KEY FINDINGS FOR THIS REPORT. ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S WILL FURTHER DEVELOP THIS ASSESSMENT COMPONENT IN THE FUTURE. FOR THE KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS, THE CHNA TEAM IDENTIFIED AND INTERVIEWED 28 SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 2024 VIA ZOOM. THESE EXPERTS INCLUDED MEDICAL PROVIDERS, POLICY OFFICIALS, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S SENIOR LEADERSHIP. THEY WERE ASKED ABOUT PEDIATRIC HEALTH NEEDS OBSERVED IN THEIR WORK AND DESCRIBED ADDITIONAL CONCERNS AFFECTING CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN ARKANSAS. BOYETTE ANALYZED THE INTERVIEWS BY IDENTIFYING RECURRING THEMES AND ORGANIZING NOTES TO ASSESS THE FREQUENCY AND DEPTH OF CONCERNS. THE ANALYSIS REVEALED SEVERAL OVERLAPPING ISSUES, PARTICULARLY WITH BARRIERS TO ACCESSING QUALITY MEDICAL CARE. BOYETTE THEN PROVIDED ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S WITH A SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS, SUPPORTED BY REPRESENTATIVE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEWS. THE CHNA TEAM CONDUCTED A SERIES OF VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON FOCUS GROUPS TO GATHER ADDITIONAL STAKEHOLDER INPUT, COMPLETING 26 GROUPS WITH A TOTAL OF 314 PARTICIPANTS. STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDED PHYSICIANS, COMMUNITY-ENGAGED TEAM MEMBERS, THE ARKANSAS INFANT AND CHILD DEATH REVIEW STATE PANEL, THE NATURAL WONDERS PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL, PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS, EDUCATORS, MEDICAL PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS. OF THE 26 GROUPS, NINE WERE HELD IN PERSON, 17 WERE VIRTUAL, FOUR ENGAGED HISPANIC PARTICIPANTS AND ONE ENGAGED THE MARSHALLESE COMMUNITY. THE TEAM USED A SNOWBALL RECRUITMENT APPROACH TO ENSURE BROAD AND DIVERSE PARTICIPATION, DISTRIBUTING EMAIL INVITATIONS AND PROMOTIONAL FLYERS AND INCORPORATING FEEDBACK OPPORTUNITIES INTO EXISTING PARTNER MEETINGS. A STRUCTURED FOCUS GROUP GUIDE WAS DEVELOPED THAT PROVIDED INTRODUCTORY LANGUAGE, INSTANT POLL QUESTIONS AND TOPIC PROMPTS. FACILITATORS OPENED CONVERSATIONS WITH GENERAL QUESTIONS TO GATHER THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE STATUS OF CHILDREN IN ARKANSAS, FOLLOWED BY A MORE SPECIFIC EXPLORATION OF THE SOCIAL CONDITIONS THAT IMPACT HEALTH, ACCESS TO CLINICAL CARE AND THE QUALITY OF THAT CARE, THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, AND SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING HEALTH AND HEALTH BEHAVIORS. FACILITATORS CONCLUDED EACH SESSION WITH AN INVITATION FOR PARTICIPANTS TO SHARE IDEAS FOR IMPROVING CHILDREN'S HEALTH IN A SCENARIO WHERE THEIR RESOURCES WERE UNLIMITED. THE TEAM ANALYZED FOCUS GROUPS USING BOTH INDUCTIVE AND DEDUCTIVE METHODS. A NOTE-TAKER RECORDED VERBATIM COMMENTS AND DOCUMENTED GROUP DYNAMICS WHILE ALSO RECORDING. THE TEAM IDENTIFIED EMERGING THEMES, CODED FEEDBACK INTO SPECIFIC NEEDS AND SUB-THEMES AND USED THESE CODES TO GUIDE THE ANALYSIS. THE TEAM INCORPORATED INSTANT POLL QUESTIONS INTO 12 FOCUS GROUPS, WHICH MIRRORED THE PARENT AND CAREGIVER SURVEY AND ALLOWED PARTICIPANTS TO RESPOND AND SEE IMMEDIATE RESULTS. |

| PART I, LINE 3C: | ACH USES FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES TO DETERMINE FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE.PART I, LINE 4:ACH DOES NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR THE "MEDICALLY INDIGENT" AS DEFINED BY AR CODE SECTION 6-64-503(A), BUT IT DOES PROVIDE FREE CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOMES UP TO 250% OF POVERTY AND DISCOUNTED CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOMES UP TO 400% OF POVERTY. AS PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS, ACH REQUESTS THAT PERSONS WITH NO INCOME WHO ARE ALSO INELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID, MEDICARE, OR MARKETPLACE SUBSIDIES PROVIDE A WRITTEN SIGNED STATEMENT DESCRIBING HOW THEY ARE MEETING THEIR DAY TO DAY BASIC LIVING NEEDS. THE APPLICATION SPECIFIES SUCH REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANTS WITH "NO INCOME IN THE HOME". ACH ALSO ASSISTS FAMILIES IN APPLYING FOR MEDICAID (INCLUDING THE TEFRA PROGRAM FOR DISABLED CHILDREN THAT ONLY CONSIDERS THE CHILD'S INCOME), SSI, CHILDREN'S MEDICAL SERVICES, AS WELL AS ACH'S OWN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THE HOSPITAL ALSO ALLOWS INTEREST FREE PAYMENTS TO BE MADE UNTIL THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE IS PAID WITHOUT TIME CONSTRAINTS. ACH DOES NOT REPORT TO COLLECTION AGENCIES OR TAKE OTHER EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION EFFORTS. |
| 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. ALL PATIENT ENCOUNTERS (INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT, ED, AMBULATORY SURGERY) ARE CAPTURED IN THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM FOR ALL PATIENTS (MEDICAID, INSURANCE, UNINSURED) WITH NO DIFFERENTIATION FOR TYPE OF INSURANCE, IF ANY. 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. UPON DISCHARGE, THE COSTS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL PROCEDURES THAT WERE PROVIDED TO EACH PATIENT ARE ADDED UP FOR A TOTAL COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PATIENT.THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM IS UPDATED ANNUALLY TO REFLECT THE CURRENT YEAR'S EXPENSES. |
| PART I, LINE 7G: | SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES - ACH PROVIDES MANY PEDIATRIC AND SOME ADULT SPECIALIZED SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE EITHER NOT AVAILABLE OR ARE BEYOND THE CAPACITY OF THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE. MANY OF THESE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY ACH AT A LOSS. THESE LOSSES WERE OBTAINED FROM THE COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.ACH SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES INCLUDES ONE STANDALONE CLINIC. THE NET LOSS OF $188,039 INCLUDED FROM THIS CLINIC REPRESENTS THE FACILITY PORTION OF THE CLINIC WHICH INCLUDES THE CLINIC VISIT, VACCINE ADMINISTRATION AND POINT OF CARE TESTING.IN ADDITION, ACH PROVIDES PEDIATRIC RENAL SERVICES THAT ARE NOT PROVIDED IN THE COMMUNITY. THE COST OF THESE SERVICES PROVIDED TO PEDIATRIC PATIENTS IS MORE EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE SPECIALTY NATURE OF THE PATIENTS. THESE COSTS ARE GREATER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT, AND THAT LOSS HAS BEEN REPORTED IN SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES.SIMILARLY, ACH INCURS LOSSES FROM PROVIDING PEDIATRIC RENAL LAB SERVICES TO ITS MEDICARE PATIENT POPULATION THAT ARE NOT REIMBURSED. THOSE LOSSES ARE ALSO INCLUDED AS SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES. |
| PART II, COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES: | ACH IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN DOWNTOWN LITTLE ROCK. THE CAMPUS COVERS MORE THAN 30 CITY BLOCKS AND EMPLOYS MORE THAN 5,000 PEOPLE. ACH PARTICIPATES IN LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETINGS TO SHARE INFORMATION AND HEAR CONCERNS OR FEEDBACK. IN ADDITION TO ATTENDING BI-MONTHLY CENTRAL HIGH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETINGS, ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S IS A MEMBER OF THE DOWNTOWN LITTLE ROCK PARTNERSHIP, WHICH WORKS TO GROW A THRIVING DOWNTOWN RICH IN BUSINESS, ARTS AND CULTURE.ACH PARTNERS WITH SYLVAN HILLS HIGH SCHOOL AND THE PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT TO ESTABLISH THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S ACADEMY OF BUSINESS AND THE ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S ACADEMY OF MEDICAL SCIENCE.

| PART III, LINE 2: | BAD DEBT EXPENSE REPORTED ON LINE 2 REPRESENTS UNCOLLECTIBLE PATIENT ACCOUNTS AND IS CALCULATED ON A COST BASIS. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | UNCOLLECTIBLE UNCOMPENSATED CARE GENERALLY REPRESENTS STANDARD CHARGES THAT ARE UNREALIZED DUE TO AN UNWILLINGNESS TO PAY BY THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT, THEREFORE BAD DEBT. UNCOLLECTIBLE UNCOMPENSATED CARE IS REPORTED AS A DEDUCTION FROM GROSS PATIENT REVENUE.FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE, ACH RECOGNIZES REVENUE BASED ON ESTABLISHED RATES, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN DISCOUNTS AS DETERMINED BY ACH. AN ESTIMATED PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IS RECORDED THAT RESULTS IN NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE BEING REPORTED AT THE NET AMOUNT EXPECTED TO BE RECEIVED. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED, BASED ON AN ASSESSMENT AT THE CONSOLIDATED ENTITY LEVEL, THAT PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IS PRIMARILY RECORDED PRIOR TO ASSESSING THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY AND AS SUCH, THE ENTIRE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS RELATED TO PATIENT REVENUE IS RECORDED AS A DEDUCTION FROM PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS.PATIENT RECEIVABLES ARE REDUCED BY AN ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS BASED UPON HISTORICAL WRITE OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ARE THEN USED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES.FOR PATIENT RECEIVABLES ASSOCIATED WITH SELF PAY PATIENTS, INCLUDING PATIENTS WITH DEDUCTIBLE AND COPAYMENT BALANCES FOR WHICH THIRD PARTY COVERAGE PROVIDES FOR A PORTION OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED, ACH RECORDS AN ESTIMATED PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN THE YEAR OF SERVICE. |
| PART III, LINE 8: | THE ACH MEDICARE POPULATION IS PRIMARILY RENAL PEDIATRIC PATIENTS AND ADULT BURN PATIENTS. ACH IS THE ONLY BURN CENTER IN THE STATE AND SERVES BOTH PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS. THE COST OF PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ACUTE ADULT PATIENTS IS TYPICALLY GREATER THAN THE REIMBURSEMENT THAT MEDICARE ALLOWS ON THE MEDICARE COST REPORT. THEREFORE, THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL, IF ANY, SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS A COMPONENT OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT BECAUSE THE REIMBURSEMENT IS NOT NEGOTIATED AND SERVICES CANNOT BE PROVIDED ELSEWHERE. |
| PART III, LINE 9B: | 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.

| 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 TAX YEAR 2025. PLEASE SEE PART V, SECTION B FOR RELATED DETAILS AND DISCUSSION.BUILDING ON YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ASSESSING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, ACH'S CHNA IS COMPREHENSIVE AND HAS A STATEWIDE REACH. 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, AFTER 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 SUPPORTS CAMPS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS WHICH IS DRIVEN BY STAFF MEMBERS WHO WORK IN SPECIALTY CLINICS AND INPATIENT UNITS EACH DAY. ACH'S FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD HELPS GUIDE THE HOSPITAL STAFF AND BOARD REGARDING ISSUES RELATED TO ITS SERVICES AND TO CREATING A FAMILY-FRIENDLY, FAMILY-CENTERED PLACE OF CARE. |
| PART VI, LINE 3: | PLEASE SEE PART III, LINE 9B DESCRIPTION. |
| PART VI, LINE 4: | AS THE CENTRAL PEDIATRIC MEDICAL CENTER IN THE STATE, ACH DEFINES THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES AS ALL CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE 21 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. IN FY25, ACH DREW APPROXIMATELY 72.0% OF ITS OUTPATIENTS AND 58.7% OF ITS INPATIENTS FROM PULASKI COUNTY AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES OF SALINE, FAULKNER, LONOKE, AND JEFFERSON, AS WELL AS FROM WHITE COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS, GARLAND COUNTY IN EAST CENTRAL ARKANSAS, WASHINGTON AND BENTON COUNTY IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE, AND POPE COUNTY IN NORTHWEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS. ALTHOUGH PULASKI COUNTY IS THE HOSPITAL'S PRIMARY SERVICE AREA, WITH 34.5% OF OUTPATIENT DISCHARGES AND 23.7% OF INPATIENT DISCHARGES DURING FY25.ACH'S CURRENT PHYSICAL LOCATIONS INCLUDE A MAIN CAMPUS AND TWO OUTPATIENT CLINICS IN LITTLE ROCK, A CLINIC IN JONESBORO IN NORTHEAST ARKANSAS, AND A CLINIC IN PINE BLUFF IN SOUTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS. GROWING TELEMEDICINE CAPABILITIES HELP 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. ACCORDING TO U.S. CENSUS BUREAU 2020 CENSUS DATA, POPULATION TOTALS AT THAT TIME WERE 3,011,524 FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS AND 399,125 FOR PULASKI COUNTY. ESTIMATED 2025 CENSUS DATA INDICATED POPULATION TOTALS TO BE 3,114,791 FOR ARKANSAS AND 404,611 FOR PULASKI COUNTY. ALSO ACCORDING TO ESTIMATED 2024 CENSUS DATA, APPROXIMATELY 22.7% OF THE ARKANSAS POPULATION WAS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE AND 5.8% WAS UNDER THE AGE OF 5. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2024 WAS 4.2%, A SLIGHT INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE PER CAPITA PERSONAL INCOME FOR THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR 2024 WAS $34,812. THE PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE IN POVERTY IN ARKANSAS DECREASED SLIGHTLY TO 15.5% AND THE PERCENT OF CHILDREN 18 OR YOUNGER IN POVERTY WAS 20.0%, INDICATING A SLIGHT DECREASE FOR CHILDREN 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 J.B. HUNT TRANSPORT SERVICES, AND A STRONG AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY, THE CONSEQUENCES OF POVERTY ARE FELT IN MOST COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE.THE ESTIMATED 695,578 ARKANSAS CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 REPRESENTED 22.7% OF THE STATE'S TOTAL POPULATION FOR 2024. THE HISPANIC CHILD POPULATION GREW FROM 12.2% AS ESTIMATED IN THE 2020 CENSUS TO 14.1% FOR 2024. HOWEVER, THE NUMBER OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 DROPPED SLIGHTLY FROM 17.1% IN THE 2020 CENSUS TO 16.2%. 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 7.7% OF CHILDREN LACKING COVERAGE AS OF 2024. 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 STILL NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE HEALTH INSURANCE. |
