Delta Community Supports, Inc. (“Delta”) is a non-profit corporation, operating in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Since 1977, Delta has been empowering individuals to live fulfilling lives through a wide-range of community-based services. From our foster care and adoption services to support services for adults with developmental disabilities, we help people grow and thrive through all stages of life.
Our mission is to enrich the lives of individuals and families through outstanding community-based supports and mutually rewarding relationships. The people we support and their families are our most valued customers. We start by making it all about them. Nothing makes us happier and prouder to say that on an annual basis over 2000 people are assisted by the services Delta provides.
Leadership
Delta is committed to being a leader in the field of human services. With a commitment to excellence that starts with the founder and CEO, David M. Wyher, Delta adheres to rigorous quality management practices following the frameworks of the Balanced Scorecard and the Baldridge Criteria for Performance Excellence.
As the father of modern management, Peter Drucker, once said, “You can’t improve what you can’t measure.” This committed and steadfast approach to performance improvement has led to Delta being the recipient of the 2005 Keystone Award for Proficiency in Performance Excellence.
Performance Improvement is a way of life at Delta. It runs deep through every aspect of our services, and guides our vision and values.
