Wellness Now partners include schools, health care professionals, elected officials from all levels of government, faith-based and community-based organizations, and private sector companies. Close to 100 partners are taking part in this effort to transform Oklahoma City and County into a healthy and well community.
“Wellness Now provides a unique opportunity for collegial, multidisciplinary committees to share perspectives, evaluate assets and needs, and identify opportunities. Our work will result in the delivery of health interventions and policies that are necessary to reverse chronic illness and health inequity that plagues children and adults in Oklahoma City and County.”
—Angela Jones, Director of Health and Wellness Initiatives, YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City
“The Wellness Now initiative has great promise for the health of our community. I am excited to see such engagement with the people of Oklahoma City and our youth, with such a strong focus on health. The children of Oklahoma will reap the benefits from such strong State leadership.”
—Karl Springer, Superintendent, Oklahoma City Public Schools
