About Us

Unite Oklahoma is a coordinated care network of health and social service providers. Partners in the network are connected through Unite Us‘ shared technology platform, which enables them to send and receive electronic referrals, address people’s social needs, and improve health across communities. Unite Oklahoma is sponsored by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, Mercy Health, and CREOKS Health Services. The network is supported by a Oklahoma-based Unite Us team focused on community engagement, network health and optimization, and customer success.

Joining the network is at no cost for community-based organizations and many organizations that are considered part of the safety net, like community health centers, tribal clinics, and mental health centers.

Community Roots

Unite Oklahoma builds upon work that began with the Community Service Council in 2017 with a Unite Us-powered network focused on serving veterans experiencing homelessness or imminent eviction and connecting them to community services and resources in Northeast Oklahoma. In June 2018, the network expanded with new providers and a focus on the larger homeless population. Beginning in October 2020, the network started the expansion across all of Oklahoma to serve the broader population seeking assistance.

Unite Oklahoma is the network that supports Governor Kevin Stitt’s “Front Porch Initiative” which makes it easier for Oklahomans to get connected to health and human services, connecting government agencies with community-based organizations. In Oklahoma County, the network is being launched in partnership with the Employment and Training Alliance of Central Oklahoma.

Unite Oklahoma serves all residents in: 
Canadian, Carter, Cherokee, Creek, Comanche, Le Flore, McClain, Muskogee, Oklahoma, Okmulgee, Osage, Pontotoc, Rogers, Tulsa, Texas, Wagoner, and Washington Counties.

ReMerge is excited to use the Unite Us platform to improve referrals between community partners. We believe that improving our coordination and information sharing will lead to greater efficiency and, most importantly, better outcomes for the clients our community collectively serves.

Oklahoma citizens have long struggled to identify and coordinate community services to improve individual health and quality of life. Many efforts undertaken to braid services have provided opportunities to limited audiences. Oklahoma State University – Oklahoma City has a long history of successfully educating individuals who need extra help to overcome life’s most basic levels of needs to achieve long-term career goals. Unite Us has allowed community providers opportunities to address co-occurring needs these individuals must overcome, including transportation and other human needs. Without Unite Us, there would not be a coordinated services on-ramp, vital to individual success, necessary to closing Oklahoma’s workforce skills gap.

Funding from the CARES Act enabled Positive Tomorrows to implement the Unite Us platform and band together with our partners to better meet the needs in our community. The platform allows service providers to collaborate in a more meaningful and lasting manner. Rather than simply pointing a client to another agency, we can follow their progress and work cooperatively toward a shared set of goals.

OIC has always understood the importance of providing wrap-around services to our clients in conjunction with the education and training we provide. Working as a Unite Us partner, we are able to focus on what we do best and still meet the needs of our students. In helping someone learn computers or get their high school equivalency diploma, Unite Us and the other partners help us to focus on that mission while allowing other partners to focus on theirs! Unite Us is good for Oklahoma City, and we are glad to be a part of it!

The Governor’s Front Porch Initiative is an effort to streamline and ease access to state services for Oklahomans in need. Most importantly, we hope this work improves outcomes for individuals and creates greater efficiencies in how services are delivered. Enhanced partnerships with private service providers like Unite Us and with nonprofit community-based organizations are essential to achieving progress in these areas. We are excited to see what this collaboration will bring.

Helping people become employed helps the entire community. And we know that access to support services is critical for sustained employment. Collaboration with Unite Us and the state of Oklahoma is essential to OKETA’s long-term success.
