GRAND Mental Health Finalist for the 2023 Oklahoma Nonprofit Excellence Awards
Tulsa, OK – GRAND Mental Health (GRAND) continues to pave a way for excellence in mental health care in Oklahoma with their recent selection as a finalist for the Oklahoma Nonprofit Excellence (ONE) Awards.
Out of almost 19,000 nonprofits statewide, GRAND is one of twenty-one distinguished organizations named finalists for the esteemed award presented by the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits (OKCNP).
“This nomination represents our commitment to changing the landscape of mental health in Oklahoma,” remarked GRAND Mental Health Chief Executive Officer Larry Smith. “Everyone should have access to quality care, and it is our honor to provide innovative services across the state.”
Finalists were evaluated by a respected group of community leaders from across the state. The Commission, chaired by Phil Lakin, Jr., includes Kathie Coyle, Lisa Greenlee, Alana Hughes, Seth Fairchild, Courtney Knoblock, Sarah Roberts, Wendi Schuur, Meg Salyer, and Mary Kate Wilson.
“The ONE Award recipients are selected not only for the excellence of their program delivery and internal management,” said Lakin, “but also for their innovation, leadership in the sector and response from the communities they serve.”
GRAND Chief Operations Officer Josh Cantwell shared, “We are constantly growing and innovating at GRAND. With 27 clinics across 13 counties, we are on the forefront of mental health care every day. Recognition at this level shows Oklahomans that our work is about serving them.”
On April 22, finalists will gather at Tulsa’s Southern Hills Country Club to celebrate the announcement of the 2023 ONE Awards winners.
