Having a healthy community and a healthy workforce is a key factor in the economic competitiveness of the Delta region. The healthcare industry is a vital part of the Delta’s economy, not only helping to increase health outcomes for the Delta people, but also providing a large portion of jobs for Delta workers.

Delta communities have great people and a workforce that is becoming more skilled and attractive. However, some of the health challenges Delta residents suffer from are holding communities back from reaching maximum economic opportunity and attracting business investment. Health outcomes in the Delta region are dangerously problematic when compared to national averages. With more than 32% of adults in the Delta reporting they are obese and 12% of adults suffering from diabetes, there is a dire need to improve the health of Delta residents and their access to quality health care.

Businesses recognize the importance of a healthy workforce and strong healthcare systems. In support of the Delta region’s workforce and communities, the Delta Regional Authority has and will continue to invest in the infrastructure, equipment, and physicians that support a quality healthcare system. Through the States’ Economic Development Assistance Program, partnerships with other federal agencies focused on health access, and our health-specific funding programs, DRA investments are helping to build a healthcare system that provides quality care, encourages preventive care, and is accessible to all Delta residents and communities.

DRA’s investments in the Region’s healthcare systems increase access to qualityhealth care and strengthen the economy for Delta communities and families.
