About THD
Pursuing a Healthier Community for All of Us
With its rich history, beautiful surroundings and friendly faces, Tulsa is a great place to call home. Community spirit runs deep here and our citizens take pride in taking care of their own. At the THD, we're proud to join in on that mission through our constant pursuit of a healthier Tulsa.
Our work touches each person in Tulsa County, every day. We strive to prevent the spread of disease by protecting the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe. We promote healthy behaviors and work to prevent illness and injuries. We work to improve access to care with an emphasis on prevention and early detection. Through it all, we help spread the word on what our citizens and health care community can do to help. Public health, after all, is all of our concern. Thank you for your interest in THD and for your part in making our community a healthier, safer place to call home.
