Oklahaven began in 1962, the vision of six chiropractors to meet the needs of chronically ill children. Many were paralyzed, in braces, and wheelchair bound, but ultimately found health through chiropractic. Oklahaven has continued to operate for over 45 years through private donations without federal, state or United Way funds.

Oklahaven has continued to focus its mission and expand its outreach; restoring childrenÕs health in a natural way and telling the chiropractic story throughout the world with the able service of the Board of Directors and the guidance of Dr. Bobby Doscher, who became the Chief Executive Officer in 1979.

In addition to treating neurologically disorganized and damaged children, Oklahaven reaches out nationally and internationally through journal articles, lectures, and seminars on the promise and effectiveness of chiropractic for children. It also supports an active Parent Support Group that works in the community to educate families on the importance of a natural lifestyle.
