Appropriation; Delta Health System for mammography equipment and replacing hospital infrastructure.

HB 1779 would have provided $831,000 from the state general fund to the Delta Health System in Greenville, Mississippi, for the 2026 fiscal year. The funds were specifically designated to purchase advanced 3D mammography equipment ($481,000) and replace/update critical infrastructure (like a boiler/chiller system supporting medical equipment, $350,000). This appropriation was intended to directly support the Delta Health System’s mammography services and facility operations. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not become law.
