Oklahoma Caring Foundation
The Oklahoma Caring Foundation supports programs that provide Oklahomans access to health services.
Established in 1994, the foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, funded by community contributions and administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma as an in-kind donation. The Oklahoma Caring Foundation, Inc. operates:
The Oklahoma Caring Van Program, providing immunizations at no charge to children across the state.
The Caring Program for Children, providing free health benefits to children in working families who cannot afford private health insurance.
Caring Vans
The Oklahoma Caring Van Program is designed to eliminate barriers that commonly prevent children from receiving on-time, age-appropriate immunizations in traditional health care settings. Since the program began in 1999, thousands of children have received immunizations from registered immunization nurses aboard the Caring Vans. Immunization information is entered in the Oklahoma State Immunization Information System so children's vaccine history is readily available. The Caring Vans travel to licensed childcare centers, schools and community locations statewide.
