OKLAHOMA CITY — Rick Steen has been named the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) Deputy Director for Child Welfare Services in Region Two, which includes much of southern and central Oklahoma.
As deputy director, Steen will oversee child welfare in the following counties: Harmon, Jackson, Kiowa, Tillman, Comanche, Caddo, Cotton, Grady, Stephens, Jefferson, Carter, Garvin, McClain, Cleveland, Pottawatomie, Murray, Lincoln, Love, Johnston and Marshall.
“I look forward to this opportunity to help improve child welfare in Oklahoma,” says Steen, “and to continue improving upon OKDHS excellence.”
OKDHS continues to undergo organizational restructuring as part of the Oklahoma Pinnacle Plan and Steen is one of five newly-named deputy directors for child welfare services across the state.
