Moore Monthly Richie Splitt Column - July 2016

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

We are open! Our new permanent facility, Norman Regional Moore, is open and now accepting patients. On Monday, June 6, 2016 we opened the doors to patients and made a smooth transition from our temporary facilities across the parking lot to our permanent state-of-the-art medical facility.

We are off to a great start. Our staff, physicians and volunteers have been eagerly awaiting the chance to serve the community from our beautiful new building and their hard work getting everything ready to open for the community of Moore really paid off. In that first week of operation our Laboratory Services, Physical Therapy, Imaging, and the Emergency Department served more than 1,000 patients! Our Daily Grind is also open and proudly serving Starbucks® coffee, specialty drinks, and a variety of sandwiches, soups and desserts. It is conveniently located in the building's atrium and just steps away from the parking lot.

Norman Regional Moore features a full-service emergency room that includes two critical care/trauma rooms, and a special fast-track area for patients with minor illnesses and injuries. Our Diagnostic Imaging department is also home to the latest in technology 64-slice CT Scanner. In addition, our physicians and their staff, Moore Care for Women, Family Medicine Moore, and Moore Pediatrics have returned home to their new offices. A satellite clinic has also opened for the Norman Heart and Vascular Associates physician group. For more information on our clinics you can visit NormanRegionalMoore.com.

If you have driven by and seen the new Norman Regional Moore you can understand why we are so excited about this new building, especially in the evening when the Sanctuary’s crystals are illuminated. We are very proud to continue providing the highest quality care to the community of Moore. It's good to be home.
