Welcome to the Strong and Healthy Oklahoma Web Site!

I hope you will find the information and resources throughout this site helpful to you as you work to improve your health and well-being.

Many diseases -- including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke -- can be prevented by following a healthy lifestyle, but it is often difficult in today's fast-paced world for people to make the right choices. Overscheduled and overstressed, we develop bad habits, neglect exercise and opt for the convenience of fast food over healthier selections.

Strong and Healthy Oklahoma is connecting programs and partnerships throughout our state to provide access to resources where you live, work and learn to help you overcome the barriers to good health. It is my hope that by improving your health you will not only live longer, but live better.

The road to better health is simple: Eat Better, Move More, Be Tobacco Free. This web site is full of great information and fun ways to make these positive changes in your life. The results can be extraordinary. By exercising a few times each week, eating properly and refraining from tobacco products, you can add years to your life.

The information available on this site is potentially life-changing -- but that change cannot occur without commitment on your part. Please join me in committing to a stronger and healthier Oklahoma.
