Moore Monthly Richie Splitt Column - August 2016

Richie Splitt, Interim President & Chief Executive Officer, Norman Regional Health System

We've been busy this summer at Norman Regional Moore. If you've driven by 700 S. Telephone Road recently you might have noticed that our temporary buildings have been removed. Our new state-of-the-art $32 million dollar facility is open to patients and our physicians and staff are proud to continue providing top quality healthcare to the community of Moore from the permanent facility. During our first month of being open our Laboratory served more than 1,000 patients, our Radiology Services team performed more than 1,700 exams, and our Emergency Department treated more than 1,400 people.

During the last month our physician offices have been busy moving into the new facility and starting to see patients. The physician offices located at Norman Regional Moore include Family Medicine Moore, Moore Pediatrics, Moore Care for Women, and Heart and Vascular Associates.

In addition Inspirations, an adult counseling center, will move back to Norman Regional Moore and is now accepting patients. With the move, Inspirations is now housed entirely at one location in Moore. Inspirations occupies the third floor in Suite 301. Inspirations staff is excited to re-establish their presence in Moore as part of the rebuilding efforts in the community. Inspirations will continue to offer the same outstanding services in its new modern location. They also offer transportation within a 35-mile radius and their vehicles are equipped with wheelchair lifts. For more information on Inspirations call 405-912-3495.

Norman Regional Moore also features an Emergency Department that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and community meeting space. Other services include diagnostic imaging, laboratory, and physical therapy. Plus we offer free WiFi for visitors and offer excellent drinks and snacks at the Daily Grind coffee shop. I hope you will stop by and visit us soon.
