A simple name change actually means a lot. The Tulsa Mental Health Association takes on a new mission and a new name. Executive Director Mike Brose says it reflects what they do for the state as a whole.
"The Mental Health Association formerly in Tulsa, now the Mental Health Association of Oklahoma, is now doing business in the Oklahoma City metro area."
Brose says they have worked on projects in Oklahoma City for a long time but are now taking a step further.
"On the other hand, we've been building relationships and we've been doing some business over there for a long, long time. So, this is just a continuation of that. But we definitely, yes, we do see further expansion. We see further work in that central Oklahoma area."
Brose adds that this continuation expand in OKC also reflects future intentions to expand across the state.
