The Center for Individuals with Physical Challenges partnered with the Oklahoma Caring Foundation to help make sure all their clients could get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Friends and family of John said he s silly, social and doesn t like to sit still. However, like many others in the special needs community, John s spent the last year in isolation. Having to keep him at home. Us not being able to visit him. His caregivers having to take special precautions so they can maintain a relationship with him. Those relationships are gold for him. Change is difficult, said Lynn Endres, sister and guardian.
A native Tulsan is making history as the first female president of Oklahoma State University.
Dr. Kayse Shrum was the president at OSU Health Sciences in Tulsa and said the new role will help her make more of an impact in Green Country.
“When you kind of let that sink in a little bit, there’s a lot of responsibility there to be that role model,” Shrum said.
Dr. Shrum was interviewed Tuesday by outgoing president Burns Hargis, where they talked about her life, family, and goals as OSU president. My goal is to really have a relevance and an engagement with industry and community and the state in a way that betters the community and our student experience, Shrum said.

More than 200 people with disabilities are getting the COVID-19 vaccine thanks to a partnership with the Oklahoma Caring Van and the Center for Individuals with Physical Challenges.
Staff said most of the people getting the vaccine at the center are members who made appointments ahead of time.
Wendi Fralick is the executive director and said getting the vaccine to people with disabilities is important because many of them have underlying health conditions that put them at high risk for the virus.
Lindsey Spoon said she and her mother have been waiting almost three months to become eligible to get the vaccine.
