DLO Sponsors "State of Health" on News 9 and News on 6

Diagnostic Laboratory of Oklahoma (DLO) understands the urgency of health issues that face all Oklahomans. Whether that's health conditions such as heart disease, obesity, or diabetes, the shortage of physicians and hospitals serving our rural communities, or the challenges of understanding insurance plans, DLO wants to be part of the solution to fix these problems. To help bring awareness to these issues, DLO chose to be the presenting sponsor for "State of Health", a statewide health special that aired on KWTV News 9 in the Oklahoma City market and on KOTV News on 6 in the Tulsa market. This two-night program featured stories on the current state of Oklahoma healthcare, covering subjects such as Oklahoma’s health scorecard, diabetes, mental health, doctor shortage, and health insurance issues on the first night, while the second night focused on ways to get healthy, including health fads, exercise, dieting, and other ways to improve your overall health.

"We felt this was a great way to show the people of Oklahoma that DLO cares about our state's overall health and wellness and how we're playing a part in changing the trend," said Dennis Hogle, DLO's CEO. "With more than 50 patient access points across Oklahoma, including many in rural towns and cities, DLO has more locations than any lab provider in Oklahoma, providing superior access to the quality laboratory services our citizens need."
