INTEGRIS Health
At INTEGRIS Health, the physicians, employees and volunteers take their education and skills into the community to make a difference in the lives of fellow Oklahomans. Their dedication, combined with our resources, helps accomplish a variety of things – from providing free clinical services, screenings and education programs to working with juvenile offenders and providing activities for senior citizens.
We also realize that the health of a community isn’t just physical and mental – it’s economic and spiritual as well. That’s why we offer a myriad of programs that address all of these important issues.
As the state’s largest not-for-profit and Oklahoma-owned health care system, with hospitals, specialty clinics, family care practices and centers of excellence, INTEGRIS is here for you. But medicine isn’t always about caring for the sickest of the sick. It’s about doing everything in our power to keep our friends and neighbors and every Oklahoman from becoming ill in the first place.
The future of caring for illness is firmly rooted in wellness. That’s why INTEGRIS doctors are here for you every day, with everything from the lifesaving care that can restore your health to wisdom and guidance on staying healthy.
We believe deeply that if we work together — and we work hard — we can all live fuller, healthier lives, and give future generations the gift of true health and well-being.
