The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) has launched a new redesigned Web site with a focus on creating a one-stop public health information center for the citizens of Oklahoma. The redesigned Web site replaces the agency’s old Web site using the services of OK.gov, the state’s official Web portal.
“We are excited about the potential services this new redesigned Web site will allow us to provide the citizens of Oklahoma,” said Secretary of Health and Commissioner of Health Dr. Mike Crutcher.
The newly designed OSDH Public Health Information Portal, www.health.ok.gov, offers a more professional Web presence to the public with many new and improved user-friendly features including the following:
- User-oriented navigation system helping citizens find what they need quickly.
- Improved search engine function through OK.gov’s Google search application.
- Print and e-mail buttons on Web pages for quicker processing of information.
- Improved graphics and cleaner layout enhancing readability and promoting a consistent look and feel throughout the site.
Upcoming features of the OSDH Public Health Information Portal will include credit card payment modules, which will allow citizens the ability to pay for many health department services online.
