OKLAHOMA CITY –"It was an honor to attend the ground-breaking ceremony for the Oklahoma Psychiatric Care Center—a 140,000-square-foot, 106-bed facility that will double the number of beds in the current state-operated facility in Tulsa.

As a member of the Legislature and the Joint Committee on Pandemic and Relief Funding, your hope is that the work you do is positive and truly helps Oklahomans all across our state.

Today, because of the financial investment in our state with American Rescue Plan dollars, I can confidently say our collective work will help thousands of Oklahomans with critical services executed in state-of the-art facilities by smart, hardworking and passionate mental and behavioral health professionals that will ensure every person can and will live up to their fullest and highest potential. The future is bright for Oklahoma."
