    Justification: The Delta Region Community Health Systems 
Development Program provides comprehensive, multi-year TA to rural 
health care organizations in rural counties and parishes of the Delta 
region to strengthen health care delivery by improving financial and 
operational performance and quality of care. This funding will provide 
a one-time supplement to the Rural Health Resource Center to provide 
sustainability TA to hospitals and clinics that have previously 
completed program TA. This support may include targeted consultations, 
assessment of ongoing financial and operational challenges, review of 
progress on quality and performance improvement activities, and 
assistance with sustaining service delivery improvements.
    This supplemental funding is consistent with the program's focus on 
helping rural health care organizations implement best practice 
recommendations, sustain the impacts of TA, and respond to additional 
TA needs related to innovation, adaptability, and sustainability in 
rural health care organizations located in the Delta region.

Administrator.
