Positively impacting the well-being of its members, along with communities and families throughout our areas of service is the goal of the Physical and Mental Health programmatic thrust.

The DeltaCare initiative is an internal wellness initiative created to promote self-care through physical wellness, emotional wellness, and awareness/advocacy. The RED S.H.O.E. challenge is the physical health component of DeltaCare that encourages members to engage in healthy habits.
