OHA 100th Anniversary 2019

2019 is the Oklahoma Hospital Association’s 100th anniversary! We are planning several events during the year to celebrate this milestone. Because we want all OHA members to participate in these celebration activities, we hope you will put the dates below on your calendar so you can be part of the festivities.

Jan. 24, 2019   Kick-Off Board Dinner
All past and current board members, chairmen and award winners will be invited to participate in this event at the OHA office to kick off the celebration. It will include a special video, the unveiling of a timeline of OHA historical events and recognition of board activities.

May 21, 2019   “Back in Time” Event
This event will be held at the Oklahoma History Center and will celebrate the first meeting of the Association on May 21, 1919, at the Severs Hotel in Muskogee. All OHA members are invited to participate in this celebration of our beginnings. We will include elected officials and others who have been instrumental in our success. We will celebrate our 100th anniversary with a special cake and provide a booklet with 100 facts about the history of Oklahoma hospitals. The day will include historical items for guests to view. We will look at historical information about the first meeting, the environment at that time, proposed goals for the organization and more.

July 18, 2019   Family Celebration at the Leaders Forum
We will celebrate with leaders and their families at Shangri La Resort on Grand Lake during the OHA Health Care Leaders Forum. This event will be a fun and entertaining evening reminiscent of earlier times.

Nov. 13, 2019   Gala - 100th OHA Convention
Our final celebration for the year will be at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum during the OHA Annual Convention. This will be an evening event for all members including a reception and dinner. We want this to be a fun and special evening for all OHA members to celebrate “A Century of Care.”

These events along with other celebratory items are being sponsored by OHA members and some organizations that support our mission.
