Arubah proudly welcomes Dr Renae Bernard as their new Medical Director. Dr. Bernard is a board certified and fellowship trained emergency department physician since 2009. She currently works in the emergency department at St Francis Health System. She teaches Residents, Physician Assistants and Paramedics when they rotate through the emergency department and also ultrasonography use in emergency medicine. Dr. Bernard serves because she believes Arubah is an amazing faith based organization trying to help a community in need.

Arubah wants to thank and fully recognize Dr Michael Thomas, M.D. as their founding Medical Director and honor him for his 2 ½ years of service!

Arubah is now partnering with the Oklahoma Dental Foundation to provide free dental services. These services will be launching summer 2013 and will serve to fill a significant need that has not been addressed up to this point, for the uninsured in our area.

As Arubah continues to see rapid growth, it is excited to be partnering with individuals, businesses, churches, and foundations to raise the needed funds for vital services in the greater Green Country community. Here are a few ways to consider supporting Arubah.
