We work closely with several research institutions, such as the Children's Hospital Foundation and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, to support the advancement of research in childhood disease. The OU Health Sciences Center campus includes seven colleges and seventeen other institutions and serves as the state's principal education and research facility for physicians, dentists, nurses, bio-medical scientists, pharmacists, public health administrators, and a wide range of allied health professionals. OU Health has just completed a major transformation and is now an Oklahoma-owned and operated non-profit. Our new ownership structure fulfills a longtime goal to further advance the state's premier academic health system, elevating patient care, clinical research and the education of health professionals.
