healthy southern illinois delta network

TRANSFORMING SOUTHERN ILLINOIS INTO A REGION THAT SUPPORTS AND ENHANCES HEALTHY LIVING

OUR STory

The Healthy Southern Illinois Delta Network (HSIDN) is a grassroots effort established to build consensus around the health needs of residents in southernmost Illinois.

The Network brings together local health departments, area health centers, hospitals and others interested in improving the health of their communities. Members work together to support healthy communities in the lower fifteen counties in Illinois.

HSIDN members include Southern Illinois Healthcare, the SIU School of Medicine Center for Rural Health and Social Service Development and the area’s seven health departments covering a sixteen county region. Regional efforts are coordinated by the steering committee and implemented at the local level through healthy community coalitions. Coalition members and action teams engage their own communities to conduct activities and advance the overall mission of the HSIDN.

The Network has grown into a strong collaborative effort of community organizations successfully leveraging resources to improve health in the Illinois delta region. The success of the network is a direct result of the regional planning approach supported by active engagement of those representatives interested in improving the health of their communities.
