WELCOME TO THE DELTA
HEALTH ALLIANCE
The Delta Health Alliance
was founded in 2001 to support community-based healthcare initiatives
that would target critical health and wellness in the Mississippi Delta.
DHA functions by
coordinating the delivery of healthcare programs communities can
access, providing targeted education and training to facilitate
consistency across providers, and facilitating translational research
to replicate evidence-based healthcare programs that work. In order to
create successful communities across the Delta, DHA works closely with
its partner organizations to increase adult literacy, enforce early
childhood interventions, provide appropriate healthcare, and enhance
workforce development.
The mission of
the Delta Health Alliance is to advocate, develop and implement
collaborative programs to improve the health of citizens in the
Mississippi Delta. The Alliance provides direct support for
collaborative projects that: increase access and availability of
healthcare in the Delta; conduct and apply research of health problems
and issues to reduce ill health among Delta residents; or offer health
education programs that encourage and enable Delta residents to adopt
good health practices.
