Attention: open in a new window.

Statement from Amber England, Director of Oklahoma Fit Kids on Decision to Join the Oklahomans for Free Market Health Solutions

“The mission and vision of the Oklahoma Fit Kids Coalition is to improve the overall health and well-being of Oklahoma youth and families by reducing childhood obesity.

“Without access to affordable health care for all Oklahoma families we will fall short of this mission.

“By joining a coalition of Oklahomans who also believe strongly in creating greater access to affordable health care The Oklahoma Fit Kids Coalition is better equipped to carry out our organization’s mission and vision.

“We are honored to join this strong coalition of passionate Oklahomans who want to see improvement in the health of our citizens so that the workforce needs of Oklahoma businesses are met not just today, but long into the future, thus ensuring a healthier generation of Oklahoma children for years to come.”
