Since 2004, the Champions of Health Awards have celebrated organizations and individuals dedicated to improving the health of Oklahomans. Sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma and administered in partnership with the Oklahoma Caring Foundation, the awards highlight outstanding initiatives and programs across the state.
In 2025, nonprofit winners in four main categories will each receive a $5,000 contribution to support their organization or program. In addition, all category winners will be considered for the highest honor: the Dr. Rodney L. Huey Memorial Champion of Oklahoma Health Award, which comes with a $20,000 contribution.
The nomination window for the 2025 awards opens on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, and closes on Friday, May 2, 2025. Eligible nominees must demonstrate significant contributions to health improvements in Oklahoma communities, with special focus on innovation, impact, and measurable outcomes.
Award Categories:
Champion of Children’s Health
Champion of Senior Health
Champion of Community Health
Champion of the Uninsured
Nominees can include organizations and individuals across Oklahoma. Winners will be announced later in 2025 at the Champions of Health Gala. For questions regarding the nomination process, applicants can contact Liz Davidson at Liz_Davidson@bcbsok.com.
