CONWAY — With news about coronavirus, relief packages and vaccines dominating daily conversations, issues such as the opioid epidemic were moved to the background. Also fading from view are the many programs and services that continue to address these health challenges.

Memorial Hospital’s A New Life program adapted during the pandemic and continues to help pregnant women move on from opioid misuse. The program ensures that women receive prenatal care and physician pharmacologic management of opioid dependence to ensure their health. Women enrolled in the program also receive services to support them on their journey to recovery and to becoming the best parents they can be.
