Dr. Boyd played a critical role in NRHS’s emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only was he providing critical care to patients in the ICU, but he also helped resolve important and unpredictable problems while communicating key decisions across the health system and medical community – including routine/elective care, testing, provider repurposing, expertise to government agencies and seeking provider input and direction about the novel virus and mitigation methods.

Dr. Boyd’s 25 years of patient care, his post-graduate education and healthcare leadership experience uniquely equip him to carry out strategic, tactical, financial, and management issues that NRHS providers face in today’s ever-evolving healthcare environment.

He enjoys traveling with his wife and time together with his family. He is a big fan of days at the beach, attending major league baseball games, and Oklahoma Sooner football.
