Delaware Health Empowerment Coalition Inc.

Delaware Health Empowerment Coalition Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Middletown, Delaware, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, delivering community health outreach, primary care expansion, and clinical workforce development services funded through the Department of Health and Human Services. The organization is a Black American-owned, woman-owned minority nonprofit with no direct federal contract or grant prime awards — all recent work flows through the Executive Office of the Governor of Delaware as the prime grantee.

The vendor's active customer base spans two HHS components across three sub-awards obligating $3 million total: the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, 2 awards) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 1 award). Recent capability work includes a September 2026 sub-grant to procure and clinically outfit a purpose-built mobile medical unit to expand primary care access in high-need Sussex and Kent County communities, a September 2026 sub-grant to formalize and structure a Clinical Community Health Worker training pathway in Sussex County through The Health Empowerment Network Framework, and a November 2023 sub-grant to conduct COVID-19 immunization outreach and facilitate vaccination clinics using community pharmacies in underimmunized areas.

Activity is limited and episodic — one award in 2023, two in 2026, with a combined obligated base of $3 million across the entire footprint. Delaware Health Empowerment Coalition operates entirely as a sub-recipient rather than a prime, meaning it does not hold its own federal vehicles, IDIQs, or BPAs and does not compete directly for federal work. The organization's role is tied to Delaware state administration and HHS grant flow-through — it executes community health programs that the Executive Office of the Governor receives as prime grantee and channels downward to qualified local providers.
