The AR Delta Advance Emergency Medical Services Training Initiative is a $450,000 Project Grant awarded by the Delta Regional Authority (CFDA 90.201 Delta Area Economic Development) to the Arkansas Rural Health Partnership (ARHP), a non-profit healthcare consortium. The grant aims to address critical workforce shortages in the emergency medical services (EMS) sector by bringing together non-profit, education, healthcare, economic, workforce development, and industry stakeholders within the EMS field. The two-year project, running from April 2024 to April 2026, will deliver targeted EMS training programs and workforce development initiatives primarily targeting rural communities in the Arkansas Delta region. As a sub-grantee, ARHP has also participated in other federal grant projects focused on COVID-19 vaccine confidence building, rural health initiatives, and value-based medical student education, demonstrating the organization's broader commitment to addressing healthcare challenges in rural Arkansas.
