Oklahoma Primary Care Association

Oklahoma Primary Care Association We aim to strengthen access to affordable, community-based care through advocacy and education.

Since opening in 1993, Oklahoma Primary Care Association's efforts to strengthen access to affordable community-based health care have resulted in unprecedented community health center (CHC) growth. To date, CHC presence has increased by almost 600% in Oklahoma with continued growth expected. Tens of thousands of Oklahomans now have access to affordable, high quality, comprehensive health care. With help from state partners, OKPCA has connected Oklahoma communities with approximately 19 million in increased annual funding since 2001.

🍽️✨ NEW Dietary Guidelines for Americans – Eat Real Food! ✨🍎

We’re excited to share the latest nutrition guidance to help you make healthy choices for you and your family! These updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that support overall health and help reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Here’s what they emphasize:
🥩 Prioritize high-quality protein foods at every meal — including eggs, poultry, seafood, legumes, nuts, and plant-based proteins.
🥛 Include dairy (such as milk, yogurt, and cheese) as a source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.
🥗 Eat a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits daily.
🥑 Choose healthy fats from whole foods — like nuts, seeds, olive oil (and even full-fat dairy in moderation).
🥖 Focus on whole grains instead of refined grains.
🚫 Reduce ultra-processed foods, added sugars, and refined carbohydrates.

💧 Hydration matters: Choose water and unsweetened beverages as your go-to choice.

These guidelines are simple: eat real food that nourishes your body and supports a healthier life. 💪🍉
