These projects focus on financial and operational improvement, quality improvement, telehealth, and workforce development in rural healthcare organizations in the rural counties and parishes of the Delta region. The Delta region includes 252 counties and parishes located across eight states: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee.

This program supports projects in rural healthcare organizations (as defined in Other Eligibility Criteria) in the Delta region that have received previous technical assistance (TA) through the Delta Region Community Health Systems Development Program (DRCHSD) or another similar TA program within the last five years. The DRCHSD Program provides intensive, multi-year TA to rural healthcare organizations located in the Delta region for free.
