November 5, 2020 – OU Health University of Oklahoma Medical Center opened a new, eight-story patient tower that has 144 additional beds and 32 new operating rooms.
The tower brings 450,000 additional square feet and a new medical Intensive Care Unit. Another floor is dedicated to hematology-oncology, bone marrow transplant and stem cell therapy, where OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center patients will receive treatments offered nowhere else in the state, including CAR-T therapy.
The system broke ground on the tower in 2017.
As home to Oklahoma’s only Level 1 Trauma Center, the University of Oklahoma Medical Center provides in-house expertise to treat the most traumatic and complex injuries. The North Tower increases the capacity and technology to care for those with the most severe injuries, the system said.
