Norman Regional Health System | GI of Norman - East

Congratulations to Robert Muzny on being chosen as Norman Regional’s #BloodDonorSpotlight! Robert is a longtime donor who started donating blood as a teenager and hasn’t stopped since. At Norman Regional alone, he has donated double-digits worth of gallons of blood. Robert plans to donate as long as he can. “You can’t get blood from a turnip… This is a simple step each of can take to help others in need. It’s anonymous to the recipient, averting the need for ‘You’re welcome’ and ‘take good care of my blood, you hear!’” Thank you Robert for donating! #Donateblood, #saveslives, and #BeaLegend like Robert and Big Foot! There’s still time to donate blood at Norman Regional Hospital TODAY. OBI is here until 4:30 p.m. If you missed today’s blood drive, no worries! There’s still two more chances. Tomorrow from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Norman Regional HealthPlex and August 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Norman Regional Moore.

We are delighted to welcome OBGYN Dr. Mady Ohs to the Norman Regional family. She is accepting new patients at Care for Women. Call 405-793-2229 for an appointment.

Patti Painter, RN, is our Healer of the Month! She started working at Norman Regional in 2002 in the Intensive Care Unit. Now she works in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit. “This health system truly cares about the wellness of the community. I could not be happier working anywhere else,” Patti said. Congratulations Patti!
