"Share the Care" Contest Nominee Spotlight: MHAT

The Mental Health Association of Tulsa was established 57 years ago to provide support to those who are affected by mental illness. They do this through housing services for mentally ill and their families, offer them employment opportunities and help them maintain job skills.

MobileSmiles has had the opportunity to visit several MHAT housing facilities over the past two years, providing life-changing dental treatment for those living on the streets. Some unable to find jobs do to the condition of their mouths, some living in pain and not able to fully function. With our help, they were able to live pain-free and now they are on their way to making themselves whole again.


Here's what the nominees had to say about MHAT:

"Why do you think this organization should win this contest?"


"The Mental Health Association of Tulsa puts a hand out to all in need. These services would give them the ability to serve and help those in need just that much further."

"First, the need. Second, the love and care that the Association shows. Third, the organization and level-handed, practical way that the Association goes about its service. They are caring, qualified and credentialed."

"Dental problems affect health and mental wellness."
