Welcome! We are pleased that you have taken this opportunity to visit our web site. This site is a new and exciting part of our commitment to make your experience with our Medical Center as personal and as individual as we can!

Here at the Oklahoma City VAMC, we have a long history of providing excellent patient care. This is demonstrated through recent achievements in successful program accreditations in Joint Commission, College of American Pathologist, and Commission on Accreditation of Rehab Facilities.  As we continue on our journey towards excellence, I am confident that the Oklahoma City VAMC will continue to provide the caliber of care that we can all take pride in.

While change is an inevitable part of our lives, here at the Medical Center, our mission and our course will remain constant, true and steady. Some of my goals as the Medical Center Director are to meet the exceptional level on our performance measures, provide top ranked customer service, provide safe, high quality patient care in a fiscally responsible manner, be an employer of choice workplace, full implementation of Advance Clinic Access and enhance mutually beneficial community affiliations.  Through achievement of these goals, the staff of the Oklahoma City VAMC can continue providing the highest level of care of any hospital inside or outside the VA healthcare system. 

The Oklahoma City VAMC will continue to provide the highest quality medical care to the men and women who have earned it in service to our nation. Every day, the members of our armed forces are engaged in the dangerous work of preserving our freedom and ensuring our safety around the world. When they, too, become veterans, they should expect, and will receive, the same exemplary level of medical care as those who have come before them. I am confident that our medical center will embrace and meet future challenges in a way that will continue to reflect on the exceptional care our staff provides for America's Heroes.

Again, welcome to Oklahoma City VAMC!
