Being a good neighbor and community partner means lending a helping hand in times of need. DHA's Leflore Promise Community team offered support for their neighbors impacted by tornadoes in Greenwood last month, volunteering at a local community kitchen to distribute meals and support their community.
We're proud of the programs we operate that improve the lives of Delta residents, but are even prouder of the kindness and goodwill our teams show while serving our community.

Delta Health Alliance’s Deer Creek READS and Literacy Fellows program had a great time reading The Lemonade War to 2nd grade students at Sanders Elementary in Hollandale and Edna Scott Elementary in Leland!
Offered through our Deer Creek Promise Community, these programs give students the opportunity to read aloud which prepares them to become effective readers. Literacy starts early, and we’re proud of the work our teams do to improve reading outcomes among Mississippi Delta students!

Establishing reading skills early in life is essential to a child’s success. DHA has always recognized this relationship and operates several programs that give children opportunities to learn to read and improve literacy skills. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is just one. In partnership with the Dolly Parton Foundation, DHA served nearly 7,000 children in 10 counties last year. We’re proud of the work our teams do to ensure Mississippi Delta children have opportunities to thrive and reach their full potential.

Delta students in DHA’s Youth Council and College Promise Initiative (CPI) programs in the Deer Creek and Leflore Promise Communities had a great time at the Mississippi State Capitol today! They witnessed first hand our state legislative process and spoke with elected officials on the legislative floor about their experiences representing their communities.
In addition to programming that prepares students for graduation and college, CPI and Youth Council provide enriching opportunities for students to learn about community service and local government.

Early childhood education plays a vital role in establishing reading skills in children and preparing them for success in kindergarten and beyond. DHA is proud to operate and support several early learning and child care programs in the Mississippi Delta, including our Head Start and Early Head Start facilities. Our data shows that DHA's Head Start program substantially improves early literacy skills among our students. By the end of the school year, the average student in DHA's Head Start program exceeds the national average in reading skills, and assessment scores are highest among students also supported by our Promise Community programs.
We're proud of the work our teams do to improve education outcomes for children in the Mississippi Delta, helping to ensure students have the best opportunities available to them to thrive.
