In Your Community

We're excited to share this 3-part podcast series featuring Carrie Slatton-Hodges, Commissioner of the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. After watching each of the episodes below, complete the questionnaire to be entered for a chance for your community's high school to receive a CPR In Schools kit to assist them with meeting their CPR graduation requirements.

Mental Health

Oklahomans with risk factors for heart disease and stroke who lack health insurance or are underinsured are more likely to die early and have poorer blood pressure control than their insured counterparts. Uninsured stroke patients suffer from greater neurological impairments, longer hospital stays and a higher risk of death than similar patients covered by health insurance. Join us in making sure Oklahomans have access to healthcare no matter where they live by advocating for Medicaid Expansion.
