Congratulations to EMSSTAT’s Medical Director Dr. Patrick Cody for being honored with the H. Stephen Williamson award for EMS Excellence by the #Oklahoma Ambulance Association (OKAMA). The award is named after Steve Williamson, the former longtime director of EMSA who retired last year then died from cardiac arrest. Dr. Cody is involved with several Oklahoma paramedic training programs. He is also the director for Norman Regional’s Emergency Medicine Residency Program. The program’s goal is equipping new emergency medicine physicians with the tools to both understand EMS and become future EMS medical directors. Congrats, Dr. Cody! * * #EMSSTAT #NormanRegional #EMS

The most important piece of #MentalHealthAwareness Month is to realize that mental health is serious and not something to shy away from talking about. It’s OK to not be OK. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. You are not alone. Everybody needs a little extra support on occasion. Seek the help of a trustworthy friend, mentor or counselor, or let our behavioral medicine team help if you think you need additional help. Get more at NormanRegional.com/services.

Be a healer today by applying for one of our full or part time open positions! NormanRegional.com/careers #NormanRegional #nowhiring

We’re wishing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Kellen, the last baby born at Moore Medical Center. Kellen was born six years ago, just one hour before the May 20, 2013 tornado hit the Moore hospital. After the tornado destroyed the hospital, Kellen and his parents were taken by ambulance to the Norman Regional HealthPlex to recover. Kellen’s mom, Lacy, said the family walked out of the debris unharmed. “God kept us safe,” she said. Now Kellen is a happy six-year-old. While he loves telling people the amazing story of his birth, he doesn’t really like tornadoes, his mom said.

Today we honor all those who sacrificed their lives so we can live freely. #MemorialDay
