LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A state working group focused on maternal health returns its first list of recommendations. What comes next?

Capitol View host Roby Brock talked with a panel to discuss the issue – DHS Medicaid director Janet Mann, Department of Health secretary Renee Mallory and Arkansas Surgeon General Dr. Kay Chandler.

Roby then talks with Anna Beth Gorman from the Women’s Foundation of Arkansas and Tamika Edwards from Southwest Power Pool to discuss an annual gender equity scorecard that has opened for information. What does it hope to measure? What trends have we been seeing in recent years?

Capitol View airs on Sundays at 8:30 a.m.

It's your Civil Right to be deranged, drug addicted, and living on the sidewalk in a cardboard box, no one should have to suffer a Mental Health Facility 😺

Remember we had a Robust Mental Health Care System, until the Lunatic leftist Democrats decided it was against your Civil Rights to have access to Mental Health Care 🙀
