Why Champions of Health?

Welcome to the Champions of Health website, your resource for nomination and event information.

For more than 20 years, the Champions of Health program has celebrated people and organizations that are making a positive impact on the health of our 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 spotlight organizations working to improve health outcomes and health equity across the state.
