Delta Health Alliance Opens Clinic in Leland Serving Uninsured and Medicaid Patients

Delta Health Alliance opened the Delta Cares Center in Leland, Mississippi on September 3, 2026, expanding access to dental and rehabilitative therapy services for uninsured, underinsured, and Medicaid patients in the Mississippi Delta. The $10 million USDA-funded facility will serve up to 500 rehabilitative therapy patients and 2,000 dental patients in its first year, using a sliding-scale fee structure starting at $3 and offering free transportation. The center addresses critical access gaps in a region with some of the worst health outcomes in the nation, where residents have historically faced long wait times and limited preventive care options.

Why it matters

This clinic expansion increases Medicaid beneficiary access to dental and therapy services in a medically underserved region where provider shortages have historically limited care availability and driven poor health outcomes.
