Address
415 W. Archer Street
Tulsa, OK - 74103
The Day Center is the only organization in Tulsa providing shelter during the day. They also provide a night shelter for approximately 116 of the most vulnerable and at-risk segment of the homeless population - women and children, those men who suffer from mental or physical illness and men over 55.
Also provides a day center clinic.
The homeless population nationwide struggles with access to healthcare, and eviction is often a result of poor health. In 2012, 40 percent of the homeless population suffered from a mental illness or chronic substance abuse according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
The registered nurses and APRN at the Tulsa Day Center are always hard at work between treating diabetes, providing immunizations before flu season and treating frost bite. The Day Center is one of the few homeless charities in the nation that provides free healthcare to all of its clients, including prescribing and filling medication.
