Education and Care, Together

Oklahoma Children’s OU Health is partnering with Oklahoma City Public Schools to bring education directly into the care environment at the new Pediatric Behavioral Health Center.

We are currently recruiting for two key roles through this collaboration:

These educators will work onsite with patients to help them stay engaged in school during treatment, coordinating with home schools and supporting individualized learning plans. This approach helps reduce stress, maintain academic progress, and support a smoother return to the classroom.

By integrating education into behavioral health care, we are advancing a more connected, family-centered model that supports both healing and learning.
