OpportunityTitle: Mississippi Delta Health Collaborative
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible Applicants: Mississippi Department of Health, Single Eligibility-Sole Source   In Phase One, CDC conducted background community assessments of health and related social and environmental conditions in the 18-county Delta Region of Mississippi.  These assessments further clarified the conditions contributing to the disproportionate burden of heart disease and stroke, and related conditions in the Delta as compared to the nation.  During Phase Two, CDC laid the groundwork for the Mississippi Delta Health Collaborative through a planning phase, which included the development of a Strategic Alliance Advisory group and the development of a strategic plan.  As part of this phase, community organizations were brought on board to implement evidence-based interventions in healthcare, community, faith-based, worksite, and schools.
Description: The purpose is to solicit and create a program that aims to prevent heart disease, stroke, and related chronic diseases. This initiative will intensify collaboration among the Mississippi Department of Health, existing chronic disease programs (e.g., heart disease and stroke prevention, diabetes, tobacco, nutrition, physical activity), local health departments, other community health care providers (e.g., Federally Qualified Health Centers), local communities, and the CDC.
