Delta Health Alliance

This company has the potential to be a great place to work. It gets tons of grant money and has dozens of good programs. However, they fire people at the drop of a hat, pay unfairly ( their payscale varies according to skin color), some of the managers are horrible. They value supervisors that are tougher on their employees, which is the exact opposite of what a real leader should do. I’ve seen people with no real skills or proven record of success climb the ladder effortlessly while others are overlooked. The level of diversity in top positions is nonexistent. There is no real reward for hard work. They can be vindictive. Their home visitors definitely deserve higher salaries. I’ve seen some mistreatment of certain employees that made me want to just walk up out of there. Some employees have quit without having a backup job and I can’t blame them one bit. Like I said, it could be a great place to work and there are some great people there, but the leadership leaves something to be desired. They could care more about the communities that they are funded to serve. The people in leadership should reflect the community but it definitely doesn’t and many of them are just collecting a big check. You’d think they want to keep people around that have been there a long time and have institutional knowledge but they were mistreated and majority are gone(mostly the black ones). They definitely could use a diversity and inclusion team external to the organization. Oh yea, they will definitely hire who they know and the nepotism is real. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part was the former colleagues and work environment because of them.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The leadership team is the worse. They micromanage, create a hostile and stressful work environment. They hold the credentials but not the viral experience in being professional verses harassment of the employees and inconsistent policy changes based on personal feelings or opinions of particular employees. The are bias, unprofessional and condescending. Once employees get accustomed to The educational director and CEO’s inability and ineffective management practices, they are soon to leave as so many have done. They make it hard to effectively do your job or want to remain with the company. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Poor and stressful. Many employees need their job but soon come to find it hard to enjoy their jobs because of the leadership, especially under the educational header. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Could be better but timid and unpredictable.

I was very excited to begin work with Delta Health Alliance but my job duties were not as described during the interview process. I was pressured to perform on data rather than quality work with families and offered no outlet to give my "on the ground" input. Salaries in this organization were top-heavy - my colleagues and I frequently wondered where the millions of dollars in grants truly went. There is so much need in this community, but the workers were not given the tools, the training, or the initiative to provide the services.  

On the other hand, this company is very well operated - technology issues are resolved immediately, HR is very responsive and helpful, training opportunities are offered and covered by the company. Great people working within the tight parameters they are given by those above. This company could do SUCH great things, but they just aren't....

Job isn’t hard work. Poor management makes it hard. Demanding, loud, manager that is “NEVER WRONG” made the job hard. Never properly trains you just expect you to hop in and look through a Manuel and know exactly what to do. Managers are hours away and train you OVER THE PHONE. Then gets smart or have an attitude like you’re bothering them because you simply don’t know or understand.  You can make it as long as you’re sucking up to the boss. If you come in, do your job, don’t hang in cliques, speak up for yourself,  and don’t kiss up to boss, you’ll never make it. Sounds crazy but that’s how it works. The turnover rate is extremely high because of poor management not the workload. The expectations put into 8 hours and the forceful demands does not match the checks you receive biweekly. No paid overtime but you’re told you can take your work home and work on it. 


This place would be great if the higher ups didn’t run this place as a prison. Audio and Video recording of everything you do. No cellphones in the building unless left in the front office. If you have a family emergency you have to pray someone answers the office phone to get to you. We were not treated as Adults. It was always warnings of being fired or let go because of small things. The Administration throws around their power faithfully and it’s disgusting. It was a pleasure to work with such great employees but the micromanaging from Administrators made things extremely hard to be productive. I advised anyone to steer clear of this place. I left and didn’t look back. It is ran more like a prison versus a school. I personally know so many people who got hired when I did and left when I did or before I did. The turnover rate for this place is ridiculous. 

Time with DHA has proven to be an experience with amazing co-workers. Co-workers at DHA actually produced a team environment. I have truly had the opportunity to learn the EMR world from beginning to end with DHA.

A typical day would include building and testing lab interfaces. Building, testing and implementing clinic EMRs. Providing training and support for all levels of clinical staff. Taking care of hardware and software issues.

The most enjoyable part of the job is having the opportunity to work with many diverse occupations and people.

It is difficult to see the under served areas in the Delta in which we implemented our EMR.

With management, it would be helpful in some situations if they had a clinical backgroud to compliment their IT backgroud.

Delta health Alliance receives federal grants to assist in the education and well being of residents of the Mississippi delta.  The staff that administers these grants are well education and well meaning people who truly want to help the residents of this area.

I was hired and moved from Chicago to the Mississippi delta.  Originally I worked for the President, providing support with the routine activities of the office, attending board meetings, taking the minutes, etc.

Over time, I was asked to draft corporate policies and was then transferred to assist with one of the federal grants.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best company I’ve ever worked for. They are very supportive of their employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress just do the work and everything falls in place. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment was great.😊 The atmosphere was very pleasant.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working in/out of office with minimum travel in a radiance of 25-30 miles two to three times a week.

So I started with this company and sat at a desk where i was responsible for opening a door which I could not see because my desk was facing a wall. There was not much training so i took notes. One day i got a fever and had closed my eyes. Someone in staff took a pic of me and instead of asking if I was ok ghey circulated the pic. To find out I was sick health wise. I did what was asked of me and when it was over after 3 weeks i was let go and not given a reason. I was sad but everything happens for a reason. I wish them all to have humbling experiences and to grow.

I was constantly overworked and underpaid. I even got penalized for things I couldn’t help when I wasn’t there such as student misbehavior and tents blowing over. I did everything they threw at me then they told me I should’ve done something else. I was left out of important information sent through email then penalized for not knowing. Not worth your time unless you are already rich with a high degree from a very prestigious college.
