At INTEGRIS Health, we are changing the lives of Oklahomans. Our physicians, employees and volunteers take their education and skills into the community to make a difference in the lives of fellow Oklahomans. Their dedication, combined with our resources, help accomplish a variety of things – from providing free clinical services, screenings, and education programs to working with juvenile offenders and providing activities for our senior citizens.
We also realize that the health of a community isn't just physical and mental – it's economic and spiritual as well. That's why we offer a myriad of programs that address all of these important issues outside the four walls of our facilities.

Hispanic Initiative
INTEGRIS Health began the Hispanic Initiative in 2003 to improve the quality of life in the Hispanic community through education, resources, and health-related services. The objective of the Hispanic Initiative is to educate and understand cultural differences within the Hispanic communities. The INTEGRIS Health Hispanic Initiative includes various components and provides a proactive approach to community development. |

Baptist Community Clinic
Our belief at INTEGRIS Health is that the solution to the uninsured problems facing many Oklahomans can be addressed only through involvement. In January 1993, INTEGRIS Health opened a free medical clinic in the inner city of Oklahoma City. It is the largest, free, all volunteer clinic in the state. |

Positive Directions Mentoring Program
INTEGRIS Health began the Positive Directions Mentoring Program in 1991 as a business/school partnership that encourages volunteers to become mentors at targeted Oklahoma City elementary schools. The objectives of the program are to build self-esteem, establish positive relationships, help children overcome negative behaviors, and improve the student's classroom participation. |

Third Age Life
INTEGRIS Third Age Life Centers (TALC) are the leading senior information and referral assistance centers in Oklahoma. Membership in Third Age Life is free and includes a host of programs, classes, health screenings, Medicare and insurance assistance services and activities for senior citizens. TALC membership gives seniors new opportunities for activities, interactions and education. |

Basic Educational Empowerment Program
INTEGRIS Health responded to the community's need for intervention in gang activity in Oklahoma City in 1995. The Basic Entrepreneur Empowerment Program (BEEP) was formed to assist gang members to become productive citizens. Through the years the Entrepreneur element was changed to Educational. Young adults in the community now enter BEEP seeking to obtain a marketable skill. Giving back to the community is a large part of BEEP. The members form their own committees to decide what project will be completed each semester. |

Fit Kids Coalition
In response to the many INTEGRIS pediatricians, dieticians, and other concerned physicians and employees, Stan Hupfeld convened a group of influential leaders in public health and education to address the issue of childhood obesity in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Fit Kids Coalition is a positive solution to childhood obesity, working to make a major contribution to the health and well being of all Oklahomans, including youth and families. |

Women's Health Forum
Health embraces not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well. The more you take care of yourself, the healthier you will be; the better you will feel physically, emotionally, and spiritually, thereby enhancing the happiness in your life. INTEGRIS will host a full two weeks of sessions on health, exercise, nutrition and the latest medical breakthroughs, all geared towards women and prevention through education. |

Men's Health University
Because men are reluctant to visit the doctor, INTEGRIS Health has implemented an initiative, Men's Health University (Men-U). Men-U is a series of events that takes place throughout the year designed to educate men and their loved ones on the importance of men taking care of their health. Empowering men with information is an important first step to improving their overall health and longevity. |
Urban Health Initiatives
The Urban Health Initiative is a newly developed strategic health care partnership between INTEGRIS Health and the Urban League of Greater Oklahoma City. The partnership will consist of preventative primary health care through monthly free health screenings and primary health care that address the concerns of primarily minority and underserved populations in greater Oklahoma City. Screenings will be held at the Urban League community facility, 3900 N. Martin Luther King, and will include: HIV/AIDS, diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, flu vaccinations, visual screenings, hearing and dental screenings, mammograms and prostate cancer exams. These initiatives also include educations partnerships with Millwood and Douglas High Schools along the Martin Luther King corridor.
