Case Studies

Men's Health University at INTEGRIS Health

INTEGRIS Health is the largest Oklahoma-owned health care corporation. Its facilities cover the continuum of care, with five hospitals in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, three regional hospitals across the state, and a joint venture with six other facilities. Recognizing that a large percentage of men have limited contact with health professionals and fail to get routine check-ups and preventive care, INTEGRIS developed a men's health initiative. Established in 2004, The INTEGRIS Men?s Health University (Men-U) provides a wide scope of no- cost health services and educational programs, including physician lectures, local health and wellness screenings throughout the year, a free clinic, health and education information offered on the Men-U website, Champions of Men's Health Clinics, and a variety of programs targeted especially for men and their families. Since its inception, the program has reached thousands of men and their families across Oklahoma and created awareness of the importance of men's health. Over the past few years, Men-U has started targeting minority populations for health promotion. INTEGRIS is reaching out to African-American men through churches, barber shops and designated community champions. Their next initiative will address men's health issues in the Native American community.
