Our Work In Oklahoma City
Open Airways for Schools (OAS)
This year, more than 35 schools are participating in OAS to help their students learn to manage their asthma.
Be Smart, Don’t Start
This school based program is a unique opportunity for youth to create and illustrate tobacco prevention messages. Winning ideas are used to create a 30 second television public service announcement (PSA) to teach others about the dangers of tobacco use. Over 2200 elementary students (K-5) have been reached with this tobacco prevention program.
Clean Air Partnership
Our partnership with Chesapeake Energy allows us to increase awareness about air quality in Oklahoma and impact our entire region.
OK Turning Point Tobacco Use Prevention Coalition
Through this important coalition, we have made a dramatic impact on a number of schools, businesses and communities by helping them implement 24/7 tobacco policies and ordinances.
OK Asthma Initiative
The Oklahoma Asthma Initiative works in four main areas to impact asthma: reduced number of asthma related deaths, hospitalizations and emergency room visits, school/work days missed and limitations on activity due to asthma.
