The
Delta Access Program is funded by the Community Access Programs of the Health
Resource and Service Administration and supported by Ascension Health.
The goal of the
project is to develop an integrated, coordinated, comprehensive system of
care that is culturally sensitive and appropriate for the uninsured and underinsured
people of Lincoln and Desha Counties of the Arkansas Delta.
The Delta Access Program is a client-centered prevention-based program to
assist uninsured and underinsured to access health care. Health Care Coordinators
conduct comprehensive assessments of the eligible client’s and the family’s
needs for physical health, mental health and social services.
Health Care Coordinators
work with clients to educate, empower, and involve them in the management
of their health. Chronic illness management is emphasized with diabetes, hypertension,
heart disease and asthma receiving priority.
