Progress update at DHA's new Delta Cares Center at the Leland Medical Clinic! The foundation is being laid for a multi-million dollar expansion of health care access right here in the rural Mississippi Delta. This new, state of the art facility will mean new health care services for Delta residents, including occupational, physical, and speech therapy and dental services from trained medical professionals.
These high quality services would not be possible without the support of and commitment to improving health care by USDA Rural Development and State Director Dane Maxwell.

DHA's Lexington Resource & Referral Center is officially OPEN! We're excited to start welcoming the community and serve as a hub for early childhood education resources, events, and services for children and families in Holmes County.
Special thanks to Mississippi Speaker of the House Jason White for attending the ribbon cutting and to the Mississippi Department of Human Services for making our Resource & Referral Center work possible. We couldn't impact education outcomes in the Delta and across the state without your partnership and support.

DHA's Delta EATS program through the Leflore Promise Community recently participated in Mississippi Farm to School's challenge, helping to promote the importance of Delta agricultural systems and healthy eating! Delta EATS program staff walked students through preparing fresh Pico de Gallo with locally sourced ingredients, including Delta tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cilantro. Students also participated in an interactive gardening experience which taught students about sustainable farming practices and nutrition.
Delta EATS aims to integrate science education in Delta schools through hands-on experiences that emphasize the Delta's rich cultural history.
