Mississippi Delta Health Collaborative (MDHC)

to address heart disease and stroke prevention and management among the general and high-burden priority populations in the MS Delta region. Priority populations are those adult population subgroups in the MS Delta Region with uncontrolled high blood pressure who experience racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities, including inadequate access to care and poor quality of care. The applicant will select from a menu of strategies. This will allow greater flexibility and permit work to occur in areas where they have experience, subject matter expertise, and potential to achieve greatest reach and impact. The applicant will apply the selected strategies in the same high burden/priority areas/communities, so that work on these strategies may be mutually reinforcing. This NOFO will also support the implementation and evaluation of work on a small set of innovative strategies designed to reduce risks, complications, and/or barriers to the prevention of heart disease and stroke among high-burden populations in a subset of communities.
