Since 1919, INTEGRIS Health Ponca City Hospital has been privileged to serve the people of Ponca City and the surrounding communities. I am so appreciative of the trust, support and partnership that our community has shown us over so many years. We are grateful to be a part of such an incredible community.
Health care is a relationship built on trust. Every day, members of our community choose our hospital during some of life’s most important moments. From the birth of a child to emergency care in times of crisis, from preventive services to compassionate end-of-life care, we are honored to be part of your lives. That trust is something we will never take for granted.
On behalf of our physicians, nurses, caregivers and volunteers, I want to sincerely thank the citizens of Ponca City and the surrounding region for your continuous support. Your confidence in our hospital has enabled us to invest in new technologies; recruit talented health-care professionals, such as our newest surgeon to join in October, Dr. Mahin Janjua; and continue providing high-quality care close to home.
The importance of a vibrant hospital cannot be overstated, especially in a smaller community. A strong hospital is far more than a health-care facility. It is an essential part of the community’s overall health, economic vitality and quality of life. Families considering a move to Ponca City want to know that quality health care is readily available. Businesses evaluating opportunities for growth look for communities that offer strong medical services for their employees. Retirees and young families find comfort in knowing that exceptional care is available nearby when they need it most.
When a community hospital thrives, the entire community benefits. Jobs are created, the economy is strengthened and residents have access to health-care services without traveling long distances. Perhaps most importantly, a vibrant hospital helps ensure that patients can receive care from people they know and trust, close to family and support systems.
At INTEGRIS Health Ponca City Hospital, we remain committed to meeting the health-care needs of our region. Health care continues to change rapidly, and we understand the challenges facing hospitals in rural and smaller communities. We are blessed to have the support of INTEGRIS Health, and we are optimistic about our future because of their support, the dedication of our caregivers and the steadfast support of the people we serve.
As we move forward, our commitment remains clear: to provide exceptional care, to treat every patient with dignity and compassion and to continue investing in the health and wellness of our community. We are proud to be your community hospital, and we recognize that our success is directly connected to yours.
Thank you for allowing us to serve you. Thank you for your loyalty, encouragement and confidence. Most of all, thank you for being our partners in creating a healthier future for Ponca City and the surrounding region.
Together, we will continue to ensure that high-quality health care remains strong, accessible and close to home for generations to come.
