OSU medical center operates a large number of osteopathic residency and fellowship programs. The hospital is the largest osteopathic teaching center in the United States, training 135 resident physicians [1] in primary and sub-specialty care each year.

Contents

The hospital is accredited by the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program. [3] The emergency department at OSU Medical Center, which includes a level 3 trauma center, [1] receives about 45,000 visits per year. [4] Oklahoma legislators have appropriated $40 million in funding towards improving the hospital's technology and facilities. Among the expected improvements are an expansion of the intensive care unit and renovations to the women's health and neonatal intensive care unit programs.

History

Founded in 1943, OSU Medical Center was established as Oklahoma Osteopathic Hospital by a group of osteopathic physicians who purchased a building previously used a psychiatric hospital. [5] [6] The hospital name was later changed to Tulsa Regional Medical Center. In 1996, the non-profit hospital was bought by Columbia/HCA of Nashville, Tennessee, who changed made the facility into a for-profit hospital. [7] The company later became the target of a federal fraud investigation, which eventually pleaded guilty and paid $1.7 billion in fines. [8] [9] In 1999, the hospital was sold to Tulsa-based Hillcrest Medical Center, a locally owned non-profit organization, which already owned another hospital in Tulsa. [7]

In 2004, the for-profit Ardent Health Services, also of Nashville, bought the Hillcrest system. [7] In 2006, the hospital changed its name to OSU Medical Center, [10] as the State of Oklahoma passed Senate Bill 1771, which provided $40 million to fund improvements at the hospital. [11] [12] The city formed a trust to take over the hospital, which was threatened with closure by lack of funds. [5] In 2009, Ardent Health Services agreed to mediation terms, where Ardent would donate the hospital to the State of Oklahoma in exchange for $10 million in reimbursement for indirect medical education costs. [13]

In January 2021, plans were announced to build a 58-bed medical-surgical veteran's administration (VA) hospital on OSU Medical Center's campus. [14] [15]
