Our story
The Public Health Institute of Oklahoma is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2004. We began out of partnership with the Oklahoma Turning Point Council having entered into by virtue of having a shared philosophy and vision: to create a greater outcome of a healthier Oklahoma.
Our mission is to bridge government, academia, and communities in order to facilitate health improvement.
We serve as a neutral convener between health-related governmental agencies, academic programs and community level organizations including but not limited to healthcare providers, hospitals, mental health providers, education, business, faith based organizations and tribes. PHIO fosters innovation, supports nonpartisan health advocacy and leverages resources in order to facilitate health improvement
PHIO is in partnership with the Oklahoma Turning Point Council and coalitions that are certified County Health Improvement Organizations (CHIOs) throughout the state.
