Welcome to our new and improved Oklahoma Health Center website!

Kicking off a new year, the Oklahoma Health Center Foundation is proud to present this new and improved website. We have enhanced the content and added many new features.

New Features

Take a few moments and explore the website. Some of the improvements include:

• Enhanced visitor information - if you are visiting the Oklahoma Health Center, we have included some handy links such as bus transportation, a map you can download and print (or pick one up on the campus), even closeby hotels and restaurants.
• E-Newsletter Archives - if you have missed an issue or would prefer to read the e-newsletter on the website, you can do that now with our new newsletter area.
• Interested in reading about campus leadership? A new Q&A with an Oklahoma Health Center leadership will be featured each month on the home page.
• Looking for a job? The new careers section located at the bottom of each page is an easy access to the Jobs sections of our member organizations websites.

Greyson Chance to headline at Cancer Center Benefit Concert

Edmond singer-songwriter Greyson Chance will stage a cancer benefit concert at 8 p.m. Jan. 28 at Coca-Cola Bricktown Events Center, 429 E California, with all proceeds benefiting the Peggy & Charles Stephenson Oklahoma Cancer Center at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.

Chance, 14, achieved worldwide fame when his solo piano performance of Lady Gaga's “Paparazzi” became one of the most watched YouTube videos of 2010. His debut album, “Hold On 'til the Night,” was released in August. Chance helped raise $40,000 last year by performing two concerts at the high school as part of its annual Double Wolf Dare Week, which raised a total of $198,000 for local charities.

Opening acts include Edmond-based pop-rock band At Long Last, along with Denver Duncan and Jabee. The concert is presented by Edmond Santa Fe High School and KJ-103. Admission is $20 in advance and $25 at the door. VIP passes are available for $55 and include a backstage meet and greet with Chance. Buy tickets at Stubwire.com or call (877) 990-7882. Doors open at 7 p.m.
