Deadline: 20-May-22
Nominations are now open for the Champions of Health Awards to celebrate people and organizations that are making a positive impact on the health of the state through innovative programs.
The Champions of Health awards were launched with the idea that Oklahoma can do better. The program recognizes those that are doing good work and those that are creating programs that can be used in other communities to change the health of even more Oklahomans. Champions of Health seeks to "move the needle" by forming partnerships to help solve Oklahoma's health issues.
