Moore Monthly Richie Splitt Column - October

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

Fall has arrived! The season brings the much anticipated cooler weather, football games, pumpkins, as well as the less celebrated seasonal allergies, colds, the flu and other ailments. Norman Regional is proud to be your hometown healthcare provider for everything from allergies to emergencies.

This month we are celebrating the one-year anniversary of EMSStat providing life-saving paramedic-level ambulance services to the City of Moore. EMSStat has more than 20 years of experience providing top-notch emergency care for Norman and the surrounding areas. During the first six months of serving Moore, EMSStat responded to 2,131 calls.

With our EMSStat services and the 24-hour Emergency Department located at Norman Regional Moore we've got you and your family covered for all your emergency needs. And, our physician offices and community outreach programs can help with preventative measures to keep you healthy year-round. We invite you to join Norman Regional and Moore Pediatrics in helping protect your family from the flu this year with our annual free family flu clinic Saturday, October 22 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Norman Regional Moore Conference Center located at 700 S. Telephone Road. This free walk-in service will provide both adult and pediatric flu shots while supplies last. There is no cost to participants for this service and no insurance reimbursement forms need to be completed for the flu shot. Make sure to mark your calendar and join us in saying "boo" to the flu.

From life-saving emergency care to routine preventative care, Norman Regional Health System is proud to be your hometown healthcare provider.
