Mark these dates in your calendar this month to discuss the importance of oral health in Yazoo City, Belzoni, and Lexington! Our first event is this Wednesday, February 12th from 12:00-1:00pm at the B.S. Ricks Memorial Library in Yazoo City.
DHA's Delta Healthy Start Collaborative team will share with attendees how oral health doesn't just impact your teeth and mouth. Oral health is the gateway to our bodies. Poor oral health care can make daily activities more difficult, lead to self esteem issues and mental health struggles, and contribute to systemic, long-term diseases elsewhere in our bodies.
Check out the flyer for more details and we hope to see you there!

New data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) shows Mississippi posted the highest gains in fourth grade reading scores in the nation in 2024! DHA is proud to work with Delta schools and students through programs like Literacy Fellows in our Promise Communities to improve student reading achievements that contribute to this success. For example, our data shows that first attempt passage rates on the third grade reading exam in Leflore County schools with DHA's Literacy Fellows program have increased substantially since the Leflore Promise Community began, helping to set students up for success on the fourth grade NAEP assessment a year later.
The state also recorded the highest ever percentage of students scoring proficient or advanced in fourth grade reading, fourth grade math, eighth grade reading, and eight grade math. This is a testament to the hard work of teachers, parents, students, and educational organizations across the state to improve the academic success and future opportunities for children in Mississippi.

We were proud to accept the Greenwood-Leflore County Chamber of Commerce's Community Pride Award earlier this week at their Annual Meeting and Taste of Greenwood Celebration! DHA serves the Leflore County community through 22 impactful programs and community initiatives, including the Greenwood Head Start/Early Head Start Center, school-based programs in the Leflore Promise Community, eight health programs, and our collaboration with community partners to restore Broad Street Park in Greenwood's historic Gritney Neighborhood.
We are grateful to the Chamber for this honorable distinction and all our community partners in Leflore County who make DHA's work possible.

Congratulations

DHA's Delta Better Futures program recently hosted events at Promise Christian Dance Academy and W.A. Higgins Middle School! Using the evidence-based Positive Potential curriculum, DBF Teen Educators discussed with students how to handle peer pressure, navigate sensitive questions from friends, and make good decisions that protect their health.
DBF works with partner schools and communities across the Delta to improve health outcomes for adolescents and teens, helping to set them up for success beyond high school and reach their full potential.

We love our books! Is there a list of books for 2024? I don’t believe that we received all of the books for the year. We are appreciative but I just wanted to see which ones we missed. We have not received a book for November nor December yet. He was born in 2022.

Happy New Year from all of us at Delta Health Alliance! We hope 2025 brings you many new opportunities, meaningful connections, and blessings.
We are excited about the year ahead and to continue our work improving health, education, and community outcomes for families, children, and residents of the Mississippi Delta in 2025.
