The Oklahoma Rural Elderly Coalition (OREC) is a 501(c)3
organization that provides Transportation, Outreach, Assisted
Transportation, Home Repair, Access Assistance for Caregivers, Medication
Management and Health Promotion. Staff are trained to counsel seniors on

Program (SHICP).
Transportation is provided for seniors who need to travel to obtain
necessary services such as doctor appointments, social service agency
visits, grocery shopping, pharmacies visits and special recreational
activities.
It is OREC’s policy that the project does not discriminate in admissions,
access, treatment or employment in its programs or activities on the basis
of race, creed, color, sex, age, ancestry, national origin, religion or
disability; and a portion of the projects costs are met by state and federal
Older Americans Act funds granted from the KEDDO Area Agency on Aging and
the Department of Human Services Aging Service Division.
