Arkansas Delta Community Connections began in the fall of 2022 from a shared vision among members of the Arkansas Department of Health who recognized the need for stronger connection and collaboration between local leaders, healthcare providers, community organizations, and service agencies throughout the Arkansas Delta.

To help bring that vision to life, Amy Hale and Jacqueline White were asked to serve as the faces and chairs of ADCC, working to help bridge gaps between state organizations and the individuals and communities within each county. Since its founding, ADCC has grown into a regional network of members from across Arkansas who are dedicated to reducing disparities, strengthening communication, and expanding access to resources throughout the Delta region.

Today, ADCC hosts quarterly meetings that provide opportunities for networking, collaboration, resource sharing, and community-focused discussion — all with the goal of building a stronger, healthier, and more connected Arkansas Delta.
