Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma

In the competitive world of high school athletics, Heart of a Champion stands out by recognizing not just athletic ability, but the remarkable character that defines a true champion! This year’s Heart of a Champion is Kalley Hogue.

Hogue, a senior at Oologah High School, plays soccer, basketball, track and softball. She was nominated and chosen for exemplifying the spirit of competition through her unwavering work ethic, selflessness, and kindness.

At the 21st annual Champions of Health gala, Hogue got to meet and do a jersey swap with Jalen Williams, guard-forward for the Oklahoma City Thunder!

Congratulations, Kalley, and thank you for embodying the spirit of a champion on and off the field!

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, a time to think about what life insurance means for you and your loved ones. It offers peace of mind and security by giving your family the means to cover funeral costs, mortgage payments and other daily living expenses.

If you already have life insurance, make sure you’ve named a beneficiary to ensure your wishes are carried out.

There’s a lot of important information to know about health insurance. Naturally, you’ll probably have questions. Here are a few places where you can find answers.
