Thanks to the love and generosity of Dolly Parton, her Imagination library has had an incredible impact on our children right here in the Mississippi Delta. Since 2007, DHA has enrolled more than 20,000 children in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, helping to ensure children have books at home to build a love for reading and support their positive development.
Our evaluation partners at the University of Memphis show Dolly's program has had a major impact on Delta children. Their 2025 study shows that children enrolled in the Imagination Library scored significantly higher on kindergarten readiness assessments than children not enrolled in the program.
We love you, Dolly!

Today, we join families and communities across the country in honoring Dolly Parton and the lasting legacy she leaves through her commitment to children and reading. Dolly Parton used her platform and success to give back to communities and improve the lives of children and families. She was a champion for reading and improving opportunity for young children. She was a strong believer in what can be achieved through hard work and dedication. She leaves behind an example that we should all strive to emulate.
Since 2008, Delta Health Alliance has been proud to partner with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, helping children across the Mississippi Delta build home libraries, develop a love of reading, and strengthen the skills that prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.
We are grateful for Dolly Parton’s vision and her belief in the power of books to open doors and create opportunities for children. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and the countless people whose lives she touched.

This summer, students from the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District participated in Delta Health Alliance’s Leflore Promise Community STEAM Summer Camp, where four weeks of hands-on learning kept curiosity growing long after the school year ended.
Through engaging projects such as building solar houses, helicopters, hydraulic arms, and remote-control alloy cars, students explored science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics in applied, real-world ways. Programs like these are critical for preventing summer learning loss, helping students strengthen academic skills, build confidence, and return to the classroom ready to succeed.
