How We Help
At Bethany Children’s Health Center we see the survivors of childhood tragedies. As we lead Safe Kids Oklahoma, it is our mission to see that more children grow up to reach their full potential and to avoid tragedies when possible. We provide dedicated and caring staff, operation support and other resources to assist in achieving our common goal: keeping your kids safe. We serve the community by implementing evidence-based programs. Safe Kids Oklahoma hosts safety events, conduct workshops in everything from schools to hospitals as we advocate for safety and distributes materials according to community needs.
