- Study finds fewer Flint newborns died after Rx Kids started
A study found that neonatal mortality in Flint dropped by 50% after the Rx Kids cash aid program was implemented in 2024, reducing the city's mortality rate to match the rest of Michigan. The program provides $7,500 to families during pregnancy and the first year of a child's life to alleviate financial burdens.
