Dr. H. Jack Geiger helped to develop the Delta Health Center in Mound Bayou, MS, which offered medical care and services to address social issues in the area, like hunger and unemployment. Dr. Geiger had spent several months in 1957 at the Pholela Health Center in South Africa during medical school. As a volunteer with the civil rights movement during 1960s, Geiger saw how the comprehensive approach to medical care in use at Pholela could be applied in the United States.
