Bridging the Gap: How the Wellness Alliance is Uniting Oklahoma Through Integrative Health

A Broken System in Need of Change

Oklahoma ranks near the bottom in national health outcomes — with high rates of chronic disease, obesity, diabetes, and mental health struggles. While our healthcare system is filled with brilliant practitioners, it often lacks connection, continuity, and accessibility. Too many patients fall through the cracks.

That’s where the Wellness Alliance: Truth in Health Association steps in.

What is the Wellness Alliance?

We’re a growing nonprofit network of holistic practitioners, educators, policy advocates, and community health champions. From naturopaths and massage therapists to herbalists, nutritionists, and chiropractors — we unite to bridge gaps between:

  • Conventional care and holistic wellness
  • Community needs and available resources
  • Frustrated patients and empowered health education

Why It Matters in Oklahoma

In 2025, Oklahoma continues to face:

  • A shortage of integrative care providers in rural areas
  • A disconnect between mainstream medicine and preventative care
  • Limited awareness of non-pharmaceutical healing modalities

Our Alliance brings together the people already doing the work — often in silos — to form a collaborative, visible, and empowered network across the state.

What We’re Building Together

The Wellness Alliance is more than just a group. It's a movement. Here’s how we’re making a difference:
Monthly Networking Meetups that connect like-minded professionals
Educational Events & Guest Speakers who inspire and inform
Community Wellness Clinics offering accessible care and screenings
Statewide Directories to make holistic providers easy to find
Advocacy & Policy Engagement to influence meaningful change

Why Collaboration Over Competition Works

In today’s fast-paced health economy, it’s tempting to compete for clients or visibility. But the Wellness Alliance believes that when we lift each other up, we all win — and so do our communities.

  • We share referrals.
  • We host each other’s services.
  • We co-create events and resources.
  • We bring attention to underrepresented healing modalities.

Real-World Impact (Spotlight)

At a recent meeting, we hosted Senator Kristen Thompson to discuss Oklahoma’s health policy priorities. We heard from Shannon McCulloch of Heavenly Hands Spa, who shared how bodywork and energetic therapy can change lives. And we launched our new committee structure — giving every member a voice and a role.

This is what grassroots health transformation looks like.
