The power of connection is the center of everything we all do. As a volunteer, donor, and former staff member of a statewide nonprofit organization, I know that connection is what keeps our missions alive.  Unite Us' technology brings the connection to help ensure better outcomes for clients and the community.
– Kiyana Dan, Community Engagement Manager
As a lifelong Oklahoman, I have had the privilege of working beside healthcare professionals, social service agencies, and nonprofit organizations throughout the state. Together, we have celebrated our successes and worked hard to remove barriers. Now, I'm honored to continue that collaborative spirit as a part of the Unite Oklahoma team. This technology will help us continue to do what we have always done in this state: make a difference in the lives of many.
– Kayla Woodberry, Senior Community Engagement Manager 
As a mom of a child with special needs, I have seen firsthand the challenges of not knowing where to go for services. It can be confusing and tiring, causing many to give up. Oklahoma is strong in values and excels when people are helping each other. Unite Oklahoma gives us hope and is helping to make accessing care easier and brings our community together. At Unite Us, being a good human is what we do and by offering our platform to those who are on the frontlines, we accomplish that goal and support the collective effort of health equity for all Oklahomans.
– Molly Ziriax, Community Engagement Manager
As the spouse of an active duty service member, I’ve seen how challenging it is for veterans and their families to transition from the military to civilian life. Resources aren’t centralized, you don’t know where to go for what you need, and it’s exhausting to keep track of all the names and numbers you’re given of those that can help. By creating a coordinated care network, like Unite Oklahoma, we’re able to help make accessing care easier for all people, including the military community.
– Mary Bier, Regional Account Director
Oklahoma has had a tradition for providing hope by helping our citizens. But, sometimes hope can be lost as those in greatest need are unable to navigate needed resources for a better life. In order for all Oklahomans to have the opportunity to have access to the quality resources our great state provides, Unite Us provides the connection between medical care and social services utilizing our person-centered approach and technology.
– Kathy Gooding, Community Engagement Manager
