The resolution honors St. Bernards Medical Center in Jonesboro for its significant achievement as the first medical facility in Arkansas to establish a Maternal Life360 HOME. This initiative, launched in partnership with the Department of Human Services in November 2024, aims to support women with high-risk pregnancies by providing essential home-visit services during pregnancy and up to two years postpartum. The program is designed to improve maternal health outcomes and address related social issues such as food security and housing, thereby enhancing the overall well-being of women and children in the community.

St. Bernards Healthcare, founded as a nonprofit Catholic healthcare system, has a long history of serving the healthcare needs of Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri. The medical center has evolved from a small six-room hospital established in 1900 to the largest bed-referral center in the region, offering a wide range of services including cancer care, emergency services, and specialized women's and children's services. The opening of the St. Bernards Pregnancy Clinic in 2016 further exemplifies the organization's commitment to providing vital prenatal and postpartum care to all women, regardless of their insurance status or health history.
