Delta Health System South Campus

Delta Health System(DHS), a regional hospital in Greenville, MS, experienced significant demand for quality healthcare within the Mississippi Delta Region. Because the region is characterized by high levels of chronic diseases, poverty, and mortality rates, access to healthcare forced many residents to seek quality care outside of the area.

DHS selected NEOO Partners to perform an economic impact and feasibility study to determine the economic impact of developing a healthcare campus on the Region and the State GDP. Additionally, NEOO determined the feasibility of a 50-acre mixed-use development with the proposed hospital as the anchor tenant. The proposed development included the hospital and non-hospital uses such as retail, restaurants, and park space, creating a healthcare district in the Mississippi Delta.

NEOO Partners, along with its project partner, Ecotone Analytics, proposed a process to establish objective data indicators that would be analyzed to determine the economic impact, retail gap analysis, and feasibility study. NEOO also solicited stakeholder input from elected city officials, the economic development organization, hospital administrators, and their staff.
