The Texoma Health Foundation (THF) administers and supports programs and initiatives that address community health priorities.
Our priorities are:
- To manage, support and promote Reba’s Ranch House, providing families of hospital patients with a comfortable, affordable place to stay.
- To improve access to primary, preventive and follow-up care for underinsured and uninsured residents, increase awareness of early detection and improve the health of residents across our communities.
- To support programs and initiatives that work to increase the number of registered nurses in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
