ABOUT OHAI


MISSION

To improve the health and quality of life of older Oklahomans and their
caregivers through community-based health education and outreach.


VISION

OHAI understands that good health is key to successful aging. We focus on
improving the health of older adults across the state through caregiver training
and health promotion education, including classes on fall prevention, diabetes
management, and caregiver support, among others. With five locations across the
state, OHAI provides health education to all 77 counties. The Oklahoma Healthy
Aging (OHAI) was established in 2012 by a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds
Foundation.


HELPING OKLAHOMA’S SENIORS STAY HEALTHY & ACTIVE

Take the path to successful aging with health information and educational
programs through OHAI that can improve your quality of life by helping you
remain healthy, active and engaged. Learn how even small changes – like taking a
daily walk, eating more fruits and vegetables, or volunteering in your community
– can make a big difference in your well-being.

STATEWIDE REGIONAL CENTERS OF AGING

Community Health educators at OHAI’s five regional Centers of Healthy Aging
across Oklahoma work with local healthcare clinics and senior service programs
throughout their areas to deliver evidence-based health education programs to
local community members.


OHAI PROGRAMS AND PRESENTATIONS FOR ALL

OHAI program topics range from maintaining healthy brain function, making
healthy choices for living with chronic conditions or choosing strategies for
better diabetes self-management to eye health, Tai Chi for Better Balance, Using
Medications Safely, Staying Active and Independent For Life (SAIL), Older Driver
Safety and Powerful Tools for Caregivers (PTC), among others. In addition to
single, one-hour programs, some classes may meet more than once a week or for
several weeks.

For other topics of interest to you and your family and friends, just ask OHAI’s
health education specialists – your advocates and partners for healthy aging –
to create and deliver presentations at a site in your local community.
