| About the Oklahoma Public Health Association The purpose of OPHA is to assist in protecting and promoting public health; to provide for scientific advancement with the enlightenment of its members through the interchange of information, ideas, and experiences; and to advance the public health program in the State of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Public Health Association (OPHA) values and celebrates the lived experiences and choices of all people, including age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, geographic location, or socioeconomic circumstance. OPHA commits to an intensive approach to use inclusive and person first language to reflect the OPHA vision for a collective, inclusive, and respectful approach to public health. Evidence-based, contemporary terminology is used to convey respect and empowerment and to reduce stigma faced by communities and populations disproportionately impacted by inequities. Despite these efforts, specific terminology or language may be unintentionally offensive or stigmatizing to some individuals or populations. Feedback to improve our outreach and communication efforts are welcomed and appreciated. If you have feedback, please contact oklahomapublichealth@gmail.com. Membership Benefits We've been working diligently to increase membership value for OPHA members. Below are just a few of the ways we are working to increase your return on your membership investment.
