ADH State Health Assessment

Mission: To protect and improve the health and well-being of all Arkansans.

Vision: Optimal health for all Arkansans to achieve maximum personal, economic and social impact.

This scorecard is designed to provide a snapshot of the overall state of public health in Arkansas and to illustrate major factors impacting and/or contributing to the overall public health of Arkansans. It is a "living" document and will be updated regularly as new data becomes available.

The scorecard was designed as a companion resource to ADH's publication, Arkansas's Big Health Problems and How We Plan to Solve Them and together with this publication serves as ADH's state health assessment plan.

See the Arkansas Department of Health Guide to Programs and Services for further information about how ADH is helping Arkansans live longer, safer and healthier lives. For detailed information about health disparities, see Arkansas Department of Health Minority Health Publications.
