Abstract
Community health centers that are located in the Mississippi Delta serve as critical points of contact for residents pertaining to medical care. The framework for the services provided locally, and nationally, originate from the now Delta Health Center in Mound Bayou, MS. The care that providers within these institutions have transformed over the course of the pandemic, and the aid rendered to patients have enabled residents to maintain their current level of health. Analyzing the various services provided during this time will allow for stakeholders to determine the next steps for these institutions as the imminent transition into a COVID-19 endemic approaches. Factors such as social determinants of health, federal, local, and charitable funding, and addressing staffing needs are important influences to consider in how health centers in the MS Delta can be sustained in the future.
Keywords: Community Health Centers, rural healthcare, COVID-19, Mississippi Delta
