Norman Regional Hospital Prepares to Open Expansion of New Flagship Location

NORMAN – Norman Regional Hospital will open a major expansion, marking a significant milestone in providing enhanced healthcare services to south-central Oklahoma residents.

As part of the Inspire Health plan, the Porter campus, located at 901 N. Porter Ave., will close its doors to patients in July, consolidating acute care services into the newly expanded Norman Regional Hospital, located at 3300 Hospital Parkway, which will now be known as Norman Regional Hospital.

The first patient day for the expanded Emergency Department at Norman Regional Hospital, will be Sunday, July 28, 2024. On Monday, July 29, the new Ambulatory Care Center and Critical Care Tower will open for patients.

“I am filled with immense pride and anticipation as we stand on the cusp of a monumental transformation. The expansion of our Hospital campus marks the beginning of a new chapter in our 77-year legacy of delivering exceptional healthcare to the Norman community and beyond,” said Norman Regional President and CEO Richie Splitt.

“This facility is equipped with cutting-edge technology, advanced medical equipment, and a design that prioritizes patient comfort and safety. Our healers, armed with their expertise and dedication, are poised to deliver care that is not only life-saving, but also compassionate and respectful.”
