Community Health Connection and Partners Celebrate Clinic Opening at Ochoa Elementary

Representatives of Community Health Connection (CHC), City of Tulsa and Union Public Schools Celebrated the completion of a new clinic on the campus of Ellen Ochoa Elementary with a ribbon cutting October 29. This new clinic – funded by the Vision Tulsa campaign – provides much-needed medical, dental, behavioral health and pharmacy services to the Northeast Oklahoma community. The Community Health Connection is located 12020 E. 31st Street in Tulsa.
The participants included Chief Executive Officer for Community Health Connection Jim McCarthy, City of Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, Superintendent of Union Public Schools Kirt Hartzler, and Tulsa City Councilor Connie Dodson. 
With the completion of the new clinic, CHC and Union Public Schools are improving services to students and the local community by including a health clinic on the school grounds of Ellen Ochoa Elementary. In April 2016, voters overwhelmingly approved the passage of the Vision Tulsa package, which included $9.975 million toward the funding of CHC’s new eastside clinic.
