As the state’s largest not-for-profit and Oklahoma-owned health care system, INTEGRIS Health has long served its mission of partnering with people to live healthier lives through innovative and transformative community health programs.
In 2020, INTEGRIS Health launched a Community Giving Program to help support important health-related work of not-for-profit partners whose evidence-based programs aligned with its community health improvement goals to extend its work beyond hospital walls.
Through the program, grants are provided to projects that address INTEGRIS Health’s identified community health improvement priorities of improving access to health care (including mental health care), improving access to healthy food and promoting tobacco cessation. These priorities were established through a comprehensive community health needs assessment.
Community organizations in and around Canadian County, Cleveland County, Delaware County, Garfield County, Kay County, Oklahoma County, Ottawa County and Woodward County are invited to apply for funding through the INTEGRIS Health Community Giving Fund as an opportunity to implement sustainable change in the community. Grantees will be asked to track the results of funded projects on a quarterly basis.
In addition to the community grant program, INTEGRIS Health works to address the identified community health needs by providing charity care to low-income patients, offering health services through the INTEGRIS Health Community Clinic and mobile clinics free of charge and by providing community health education programs across Oklahoma.
Through the implantation of the Community Giving Fund, INTEGRIS Health can maximize the impact of its community benefit dollars to improve health outcomes providing $129,292,730.29 in community benefits in the previous fiscal year.
