ADVOCACY

The OTPC provides guidance and receives feedback from community partnerships on state policy issues that impact health improvement efforts. This is achieved through the development of recommendations on state policy changes and by collaborating with other organizations in taking action on policy issues. OTPC sponsors community informational forums to educate and advocate for its policy objectives; and sponsors an annual Policy Day to further engage the community in education and advocacy efforts. OTPC promotes community voice in the planning, Funding, and implementation of interagency coordination within the OK State Health Improvement Plan and other State Plans that include health and Wellness.
