Health Professionals Statistics

The Health Professions Manpower Assessment, maintained by the Health Statistics Branch of the Arkansas Department of Health, is the primary source of data on Arkansas’s healthcare workforce. Data is collected on an annual basis from professional licensing boards (PLB). PLB’s collect and provide our branch with information on their members including date of birth, address, and licensing specialties. This data is used to gather information on health profession shortages and medically underserved areas.

Under the Arkansas Disaster Relief Program, the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management (ADEM) is able to provide funds for immediate needs for disaster relief to communities experiencing major impacts from a DECLARED disaster. These funds are to be utilized as additional state and federal program availability are being determined.
