About The Best Medicine

About The Best Medicine

They say that "Laughter is The Best Medicine", but for thousands of uninsured, low-income Tulsa County residents access to specialty healthcare needs is no laughing matter. Now’s your chance to do something about it - one laugh at a time! The Best Medicine is a Fundraising Event to support the operations of Project TCMS (Tulsa Charitable Medical Services) a program of the Tulsa County Medical Society Foundation.

 

1 out of 10 doctors* say that laughter is the best medicine. The other nine doctors say “medicine is the best medicine.” We'd like to believe the one doctor who likes to laugh and didn’t “technically” finish medical school instead of the others who diagnosed us with “selective hearing.” ​

 

We hope you'll join us for a night of fun and laughter, while making a difference for our Project TCMS patients.

About the TCMS Foundation and Project TCMS (Tulsa Charitable Medical Services)

The TCMS Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, is dedicated to improving community health since 1965. Started in 2012, Project TCMS is a community partnership to improve access to specialty health care for low-income, uninsured residents of Tulsa County. We partner with 12 hospitals, 17 safety net clinics, and 185 physicians to provide care. Because there is no charge to the patient and no reimbursement to the physician or hospitals, funding from foundations, corporate, individuals, and private sources is essential to continuing our operations and impacting the Tulsa community.
