Statement From Oklahoma State Medical Association President George Monks Regarding Today’s Frontier Article:
“Collectively, the members of the Healthier Oklahoma Coalition represent the healthcare professionals that are putting their lives on the line to save others." 1/5

We have to ensure those voices are heard by state leaders. To accomplish this, we developed a letter that included the concerns we were hearing and offered solutions that could help lessen the projected number of COVID-positive Oklahomans. 2/5

We have been pleased to see that several of the suggestions we’ve made have been implemented and will continue to work with the Governor, Sec. of Health and Health Commissioner to find other solutions to abate this crisis. 3/5

In regard to the interviews by health care professionals, physicians, nurses and other hospital workers are the ones on the front lines of the battle against COVID. They are the ones seeing the death and destruction this disease is causing. 4/5

We think it is essential that the public continues to hear from these frontline workers and hopefully understand the impact their individual behaviors can have on their community’s health care providers.” 5/5 readfrontier.org/stories/gov-st…
