SHIFT OK is a policy-focused 501(c)(4) advocacy organization dedicated to improving health outcomes in Oklahoma through data-informed education, strategic advocacy,and system-level reform. We exist to support informed decision-making by elevating facts, context and practical solutions that help move Oklahoma forward.
SHIFT OK, Shaping Healthier Initiatives for Tomorrow, was created in response to a simple reality: Oklahoma’s health outcomes consistently rank near the bottom nationally. Our purpose is to help identify where policy can make the greatest impact and to support reforms that improve access, efficiency and long-term outcomes. SHIFT OK exists to help bridge the gap between research, policy and implementation by providing decision-makers with clear, relevant information and constructive policy support.
Health outcomes are not isolated issues. They affect workforce participation, economic stability, rural sustainability and long-term state costs. Across multiple indicators, Oklahoma continues to trail behind peer states. These challenges reflect system-level barriers rather than individual effort, and they require thoughtful, policy-driven solutions. Acknowledging this reality is not criticism. It is the foundation for progress.
