Physical and Mental Health

The DeltaCare initiative is an internal wellness initiative. It was created to promote self-care through physical wellness, emotional wellness, and awareness/advocacy. Specifically, the Red S.H.O.E. challenge is the physical health component of DeltaCare that encourages members to engage in healthy behaviors. S.H.O.E. is an acronym for Self-care, Healthy Options, and Exercise
We promote healthy living for our members and community through a myriad of creative programs designed to proactively raise awareness on major health and wellness concerns that disproportionately impact the minority community.

Political Awareness and Involvement (Social Action)

Promotes leadership, advocacy, and empowerment to effect social change and public policy. Each of Delta’s programmatic initiatives has an advocacy component that is implemented under the auspices of social action when it is appropriate or necessary to do so.
