LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Because good news matters, Today's THV is dedicated to highlighting positive stories happening where you live.

AARP is behind the internet's newest lip dub sensation! They enlisted the help of nine families to create their own "Call Me Maybe" video. It aims to inspire grandchildren to call their loved ones on Sunday, which is Grandparent's Day.

The video has received nearly 31,000 views in less than two weeks.

One in 10 of all children in the U.S. live with their grandparents.
To help celebrate, Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield invites its members to Grandparent's Day at the Museum of Discovery.

If you carry an Arkansas Blue Cross, Health Advantage ID card, you can show it at the door on Sunday and enjoy free admission to the Museum and a family-friendly event.

Grandparents and their grandchildren will have fun working out together, and making special hand-crafted picture frames. The event starts at 1:00 p.m.

In other positive news, Baptist Health is growing a more effective, more affordable, higher quality form of healthcare.

The multi-player initiative is a collaboration between public and private healthcare payers to strengthen primary care.

Around 500 primary care practices in seven states were selected to participate. Fourteen of those are Baptist Health clinics.
