This organization works with families and children by changing healthcare in the Mississippi Delta by improving access to healthcare and providing education.  This organization resonates with me because they address the issue of health and well being of the poor. They also implement practices and policies that educate and provide assistance for poor families. This is done through a partnership with other advocates and agencies interested in the fight against poor healthcare and insurance availability.
