OU Medicine is the combination of OU Medical Center – Oklahoma City & Edmond, the Children’s Hospital, OU Physicians, OU Children’s Physicians, the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, and the Peggy and Charles Stephenson Oklahoma Cancer Center. OU Medicine focuses on improving health by collaboration, searching for innovation and encouraging high performance.
OU Medical Center is located in central Oklahoma City on the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center campus, just east of downtown Oklahoma City and south of the State Capitol building.
The main OU Medical Center building which houses the main hospital is Presbyterian Tower, which had been the Presbyterian Hospital. In 2010 OU Medical Center celebrated its 100th anniversary.
OU Medical Center has 680 beds. Most of OU Medical Center's and the Children's Hospital-affiliated physicians are a part of OU Physicians and faculty with the OU College of Medicine and see patients in over 60 adult and child specialties.
OU Medical Center is home to Oklahoma's only Level One Trauma center as verified by the American College of Surgeons. The trauma center is located on the west side of Presbyterian Tower, and houses four Medi Flight transports which can be seen on the helipad from Lincoln Boulevard.
Unique services at OU Medical Center include comprehensive cancer care including a Gamma Knife Center for treating brain tumors that can't be treated by conventional methods, a Bone Marrow Transplant Center and Oklahoma's newest and largest Radiation Therapy Center.
OU Medical Center also houses the Oklahoma Transplant Center, and is operated by Hospital Corporation of America (HCA).
OU Medical Center Edmond is located in central Edmond, Oklahoma just east of the University of Central Oklahoma campus.
Until April 2010, OU Medical Center Edmond was known as Edmond Medical Center. OU Medical Center Edmond primarily serves the people of Edmond in northern Oklahoma County, and southern Logan County.
In 2010, the hospital began a $17 million expansion and renovation. Construction includes renovation to reintroduction the much anticipated maternal child services back into Edmond. Other updates include expansion to the Emergency Department, internal and external facelifts, and new diagnostic and surgical equipment.
