Delta Health Center

What Delta Health Center does

Delta Health Center, Inc. is a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) operating under 42 U.S.C 254b with FTCA deemed facility status, headquartered in Mound Bayou, Mississippi. Founded in 1965 by Tufts University physicians Dr. H. Jack Geiger and Dr. Count Gibson with a federal Office of Economic Opportunity grant, it holds the historic distinction of being the first rural Community Health Center and first FQHC in the United States. The organization operates 10+ fixed clinic locations across the Mississippi Delta serving Bolivar, Sunflower, Washington, Issaquena, and Sharkey counties, plus school-based health clinics and mobile clinic partnerships, with a workforce of 101-250 employees serving over 10,383 individuals and families annually.

The organization delivers comprehensive primary healthcare across 14 core clinical service lines: Dental Care, Diabetes Clinic, Family Medical Care, Laboratory & X-Rays (digital X-ray with electronic specialist distribution), Nutritional Counseling, Pediatric Care, Pharmacy (operating under the 340B Drug Discount Program), Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, Social Services, Wellness Exams, WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), Women's Health, Workplace & School Physicals, and Behavioral Health. Supporting technology includes a NextGen Healthcare patient portal for scheduling, bill payment, and records access. Strategic partnerships with Mississippi State Department of Health (Ryan White Part B, WIC, Breast and Cervical Cancer Program, Diabetes Prevention Program), Delta Dental Community Care Foundation (mobile dental clinics for seniors), Tufts University, and Tougaloo College (Delta GREENS "Food Is Medicine" project) extend its ecosystem role.

Delta Health Center generates revenue through a hybrid model combining patient service revenue (private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare MSCAN, CHIPS, plus sliding fee scale based on federal poverty guidelines for uninsured patients), federal grants (Health Center Program Grantee under Section 330, including a 2013 $5M HHS grant for facility construction), 340B pharmacy savings, and contracted service payments from Mississippi State Department of Health for Ryan White Part B HIV care and WIC nutrition services. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors of 9-11 members (with at least 51% being service users) and led by CEO John Fairman, appointed in 2009, under whose tenure the network expanded from one to 10+ sites. It is not a conventional investment vehicle but a federally-supported safety-net provider with regulatory protection, fixed federal reimbursement advantages, and a defined geographic mission.
