Every program offered through the Delta Health Alliance and its family of partners is geared toward good health. DHA offers Delta residents a host of effective avenues to live a healthier life.

Uninsured Delta residents now find assistance through the Good Samaritan Health Center in Greenville, a patient-centered medical home for primary care. For a minimal fee based on income, patients receive the treatment and medication they need for chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.

DHA is going into cities and towns across the Delta to improve health with a community-based training program called “Getting on Track with Community Health Advisors”, or GOTCHA. A partnershp with the University of Southern Mississippi, project staff are training community leaders in the Delta to become Community Health Advisors. In turn, these new advisors provide nutritional and chronic disease education to residents within their own communities to help reduce associated health risks.

To ensure that Delta residents are receiving the right medication to treat their diseases at costs they can afford, DHA has implemented its Medication Therapy Management program. This effort with the Ole Misss School of Pharmacy partners pharmacists with patients to promote safe and effective use of medications, and helps patients achieve hthe healthiest outcomes at the lowest cost.
