North Regional Health & Wellness Center
On September 16, 2010, the Tulsa City-County Board of Health held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the upcoming construction of the North Regional Health and Wellness Center to be located at 56th Street North and Cincinnati Avenue in Tulsa, OK.
The emphasis of the Tulsa Health Department's North Regional Health and Wellness Center will be on developing a culture of health and wellness within the neighborhoods and schools of Tulsa north by focusing on attitudes and behaviors responsible for 65% of health outcomes: diet, physical activity, and tobacco use. The Tulsa Health Department and its partners will provide job training, educational opportunities, primary care, preventive care and mental health services under one roof. The overall concept of the North Regional Health and Wellness Center was adopted following significant community input.
The cost to construct the building will be approximately $8.2 million. Construction will be funded through local and private funds. Operational funds include a mix of federal, state, and local dollars. The following local foundations have supported this project: Morningside Foundation, Helmerich Foundation, Anne and Henry Zarrow Foundation and the George Kaiser Family Foundation.
