Today, our Executive Director, Derion, attended the OKIES Celebration at the Ponca City Refinery with Phillips 66.❤️

We had the opportunity to connect with employees and share the incredible work the Community Health Foundation is doing throughout Kay County. From supporting local health initiatives to investing in programs that improve nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and access to care, we love spreading awareness about ways to build a healthier community.

We also handed out some fun plates, snack bags, and informational cards highlighting the importance of fueling our bodies with nutritious foods. 🍎🥕💪

Thank you to Phillips 66 for inviting us to be part of this great event! We always enjoy getting out into the community, making connections, and sharing the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.

Congratulations City Of Blackwell! TSET plays such a vital role in funding opportunities for rural counties! Thank you for creating a healthier Kay County! 💙👏🏻

Exciting things are happening in Blackwell! 🎉

Thanks to the TSET Healthy Living Program’s Wayfinding Grant, the City of Blackwell has received new wayfinding signs that will help residents and visitors discover all the great places our community has to offer.

From the Fairgrounds to Memorial Park, McClung Trail, Maroon Pocket Park, and more, these signs will make it easier to navigate our city while encouraging walking, exploring, and enjoying the many amenities Blackwell provides.

Projects like this do more than point the way, they help connect people to our parks, trails, local attractions, and community spaces while promoting healthy living and community pride.

A big thank you to TSET and everyone who played a role in bringing this project to life. We can’t wait to see these signs installed and helping guide people through Blackwell for years to come!
