On National Hepatitis Testing Day, we want to say wado to Cherokee Nation for inviting us to be part of this special day and celebration! We’re grateful for this continuous partnership and shared commitment to improving community health.

Testing is the first step to knowing your status, and knowing your status can change your life.

At CARES Health, you can get tested and, if needed, receive treatment all in one place. With on-site labs, an HCV specialist, pharmacy, and case management, our team is here to help you navigate every step of your care.

Appointments are preferred, but walk-in testing is available from 8:30AM-4PM.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a serious public health concern, and addressing them takes all of us taking action together. 🩷

In response to STI rates in Tulsa, Amplify Tulsa and the Tulsa STI Task Force are launching the Tulsa STI Action Plan. The Action Plan brings together data and recommendations from partners, the community, and medical experts to move us closer to a shared vision of stigma-free STI prevention and care for everyone.

Our entire community has a role to play in preventing and responding to STIs. Check out the full report and audience-specific one-pagers at https://bit.ly/STIActionPlan.

We’re proud to be part of the Tulsa STI Task Force and grateful to stand alongside partners, advocates, and community members who are helping shape a more connected, stigma-free future for STI prevention and care.

This STI Awareness Month, we’re launching the Tulsa STI Action Plan ⬇️

Right now, Tulsa stands at the epicenter of a growing public health crisis, with Oklahoma having some of the highest rates of STIs (sexually transmitted infections) in the country.

While numerous dedicated organizations throughout Tulsa have implemented impactful prevention and treatment initiatives to support our communities, these efforts remain largely disconnected – operating in silos that limit their collective effectiveness. 🩷

The Tulsa STI Action Plan brings together data and recommendations from partners, the community, and medical experts – all aiming to bring us closer to our shared vision of a community where stigma-free STI prevention and care are a reality for everyone.

En este Mes de Concientización sobre las ITS, lanzamos el Plan de Acción sobre las ITS de Tulsa ⬇️

En este momento, Tulsa se sitúa en el epicentro de una creciente crisis de salud pública, dado que Oklahoma registra algunas de las tasas más altas de ITS (infecciones de transmisión sexual) del país.

Si bien numerosas organizaciones comprometidas en toda Tulsa han implementado iniciativas de prevención y tratamiento de gran impacto para apoyar a nuestras comunidades, estos esfuerzos permanecen en gran medida desconectados, operando de forma aislada, lo que limita su eficacia colectiva. 🩷

El Plan de Acción sobre las ITS de Tulsa reúne datos y recomendaciones de socios, de la comunidad y de expertos médicos; todo ello con el objetivo de acercarnos a nuestra visión compartida de una comunidad donde la prevención y la atención de las ITS —libres de estigma— sean una realidad para todos.

Visita el 🔗 de nuestra biografía para leer el Plan de Acción sobre las ITS de Tulsa y descubre cómo puedes contribuir a construir una Tulsa donde todos tengan acceso a la educación, las pruebas y el tratamiento que merecen.
