AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 minutes agoCancer Care: Springdale’s Highlands Oncology has nearly doubled its clinical trials to almost 150 and opened a new $4 million research suite, bringing more experimental treatment options to Northwest Arkansas. Reproductive Health: A Missouri ballot measure could overturn abortion protections there, potentially sending some Arkansas patients farther to reach out-of-state care; abortion is banned in Arkansas except to save a pregnant patient’s life in a medical emergency. Public Health: Flu season has arrived early, with deaths reported in Craighead and Benton counties. Rural Access: Arkansas is directing $10 million toward rural emergency medical services, while a national report lists 32 Arkansas rural hospitals as financially at risk—a warning of strain, not a prediction that they will close. Maternal Care: Baptist Health has launched a central obstetrics hub to support its delivery hospitals. Coverage: Open enrollment for the Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace has begun.
