COMMUNITY HEALTH

Partnering with local health systems, our Community Health programs provide healthcare and social services to those who need it the most. Our Community Health Workers are the key to reaching underserved populations, providing them with the care they require and serving as a bridge to access the necessary services. This ensures individuals don’t have to navigate complex healthcare systems on their own.

The Center for community health

The Center for Community Health is a partnership between Saint Francis Health System and the Tulsa Health Department with the overarching goal to improve health in Tulsa County.

Mission Statement

We help patients:

  • Connect to other services in our community (food, utilities, housing, legal aid, mental health, support groups, dental health, etc.);
  • Schedule follow-up and primary care appointments;
  • Receive free transportation to health-related appointments;
  • Establish your own personal physician; and
  • Understand discharge instructions after leaving the hospital and doctor appointments.
