On Social
We're thinking back on the wonderful work our DHA CARES Mentoring program did last school year! In May, mentors and mentees participated in a read and release activity. Mentors read with mentees, giving students an opportunity to practice their reading comprehension and literacy skills. After reading, mentors and mentees released balloons to celebrate their time together during the school year.
DHA's CARES mentoring program pairs students with responsible adult mentors, providing positive relationships that enhance students' social, academic, and personal development.
Learn more about the CARES program and apply to become a mentor next year by visiting deltahealthalliance.org/find-a-program/c-a-r-e-s-mentoring-program/.

Sweet corn in the summer is part of life in the Delta. As part of our commitment to healthy eating, Delta Health Alliance distributed 3,000 ears of local corn today at the Delta Wellness Center. Our monthly food distribution is in partnership with the Mississippi Food Network. Thanks to Rosedale farmer Jarvis Johnson for providing the corn!
DHA is committed to helping Delta communities access fresh, nutritious food through programs such as DHA's Delta Produce Rx and our monthly food distributions. These programs and our in-house nutritionist at the Leland Medical Clinic and Delta Wellness Center combat food insecurity in the Delta by increasing consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables and promoting healthy eating habits.

Great job! 😊
DHA's Delta Wellness Center and its staff have a powerful impact on the community members we serve. Check out this excellent profile of DWC's trainer Myesha Stovall and the work she does to help folks with chronic conditions, seniors, and everyone who calls the Wellness Center their fitness home lead healthier lives.
As one of Myesha's clients who has prediabetes remarked, “Myesha is more than a trainer to me; she’s a lifeline."
We couldn't be more proud of the work Myesha and the entire team at DWC and the Leland Medical Clinic do to tackle health challenges such as obesity, chronic conditions, and infant mortality in our Mississippi Delta communities.
