Subarea Six
Council Adds
New Member
The Subarea Six office of
the Oklahoma Health Systems
Agency announces the recent
addition of a woman health
planner to their staff. The office
serves 19 northwestern Okla,
counties with its headquarters
in Enid.
Renee Gigoux of Enid was
appointed to the planner posi-
tion this month, according to
Louis Stackler, coordinator of
the OK-HSA Area Six office.
She will advis and assist in the
development of health care
services in the counties of
Noble, Garfield, Alfalfa, Beaver
Blaine, Cimarron, Dewey,Ellis,
Grant, Harper, Kay, Kingfisher
Logan, Major, Payne, Texas,
Wools and Woodward,
In Noble County Ms Gigoux
will work with Derrla Dolazal
of Billings who is a memi er of
the advisory council for OK-
HSA for this area.
Before joining the OK-HSA
staff, Gigoux was employed at
St. Mary’s hospital in Enid as
a psychiatric technician in
group therapy for the psychi-
atric care unit. She attended
Phillips University and re-
ceived her Bachelor of Science
degree in psychology from
Oklahoma State University.
Gigoux stressed the need for
the communities served by OK-
HSA to contact their county re-
presentatives with their ideas
and concerns. OK-HSA was
established by Public Law

councils were organized for
Oklahoma to provide local in-
put to a state Board of Trust-
ees. The board and area
councils are comprised of mem-
bers of the medical profess-

Alexanders Plan
Programs for
Nursing Homes
During the past several weeks
Beverly and Ashley Alexander
have provided musical enter-
tainment in nursing homes in
Billings, Perry, Stillwater,
Pawnee, Cleveland, Sand
Springs, Checotah, Henryetta,
Okmulgee, Sapulpa, Ponca City
Newkirk, Blackwell, Tonkawa,
Oklahoma City, Bethany, Yukon
Del City, Jones, Midwest City,
Edmond, Guthrie, Beggs, Cush-
ing, Bristow, Drumright, Yale,
Hennessey, Kingfisher, Wa-
tonga, Geary and in Kansas,
Halstead and Sedjwick.
Alexander has been a band
director and teacher in Okla,
schools for 45 years. He has re-
tired after 22 years from OSU
where he worked as Director of
Student Entertainers in the area
of public relations and comm-
unity service. He has enter-
tained publically in 49 out of
50 states and has managed three
overseas USO shows from OSU
for the U. S. Armed Forces.
His wife, Beverly, served
four years as assistant direct-
or of Student Entertainers at
OSU where she completed her
master’s degree in Student Per-
sonnel and Guidance.
For the past eight years, the
Alexanders have been travel-
ing and musically performing
together for hundreds of con-
ventions banquets, service
clubs and churches. They pre-
sent a musical program feat-
uring Mrs. Alexander playing
the marimba, xyloplione, vibra-
harp, accordian, violin or sing-
ing, combined with Mr. Alex-
ander’s enthusiasm at the piano
keyboard. The musical select-
ions are mostly standard,
familiar tunes woven together
with humorous and inspira-
tional messages. Using a re-
laxed, unpredictable format,
they often add musical requests
from the audience and magic
tricks for the children.
They have a special ministry
into nursing homes, presenting
free programs in many homes
each week. Since Alexander’s
retirement, the couple has de-
voted more time to revival and
nursing home work and within
the past year have served in
revivals in Korea, Japan, Aust-
ralia, Egypt and Taiwan. They
have now formed a non-profit
corporation to help them con-
tinue their work. Their add-
ress is Rt. 3, Box 28, Perry,
Okla. 73077.
