    To realize the mission and guidelines for the Wynnewood Health Center, a committee for

    overseeing the philosophy of care has been created; this committee decided on a list of priorities

    to ensure the success of the facility.

    As the new administrator of the Wynnewood Health Center, I will dedicate myself and

    my staff to the provision of total health care to patients and their families. Many specialized

    health care services and doctors are on staff to provide comprehensive, progressive services, and

    care needed by the patients. The organization hopes to build a reputation for excellent care,

    cutting edge technology, and the use of the outstanding medical team. I wish we could say that

    we are a nonprofit organization but the foundation is a for-profit company. It is simple, but not

    easy, at Wynnewood Health Center, the heart of everything we do is the commitment to

    excellence.

    The center is a growing health care facility and the administrator is striving to add more

    services as time passes. For example, one of the services is diagnostic imaging; this is a division

    of the facility that offers amount of services, such as ct scans, mammograms, ultrasounds,

    magnetic resonance imaging, and bone density tests.

    Wynnewood supports two health care facilities and to improve the benefits of the

    community, a joint venture was needed to ensure the best care is given. Together the two

    facilities created the magnetic resonance service to the community. As an outpatient facility,

    high quality surgery care can be provided so that a patient can be treated and not be away from

    his or her family for very long.

    Wynnewood Health Center is dedicated to the provision of healthcare for women of all

    ages. A full range of care is offered for the cancer patient or prenatal care for women who need

    the care. Many other services are provided by the clinic for women and children; and more to

    keep the family healthy.

    Our facility offers assistance for patients who suffer from a sleep disorder; the clinic is

    under the direction ofTamara L. Williams, M.D. Other clinic physicians on the staff are

    Jeremiah Henley, M.D. and Richard Horanzy, M.D. Sleep orders are diagnosed and treated,

    including snoring and sleep apnea. A Registered Dietician is on staff to discuss diet education,

    counseling, and use of dietary supplements to find a dietary nutrition therapy plan for anyone.

    The dietitian can be reached at 405-555-2330, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    The facility is dedicated to providing complete physical, emotional, and spiritual care for

    the patients who need assistance. The health facility has constructed a team of doctors, registered

    nurses, chaplain, nutritionist, and social worker is dedicated to providing palliative care for the

    Hospice patient.

    The facility offers an adult daycare program, car seat safety program, lifeline, social

    services, support groups, and the Whitaker House. The house is a provision for patients who and

    his or her family who need treatments at the facility. The house is named forThomas Whitaker,

    who has been a long-time supporter of the foundation which started the Wynnewood Health

    Center. Guests who stay in the Whitaker House must be stable in the medical sense and the

    charge for this service $25 per night housing fee and a $5 cleaning fee. The ten-bedroom home

    provides comfortable lodging for outpatients and his or her family while the patient is receiving

    treatment at the Wynnewood Health Center.

    T

    he center also provides a stop-smoking clinic; which provides many programs to assist a

    person in quitting. Smoking is known to raise the risk of cancer, lung disease, and heart disease.

    Quitting can be difficult but the clinic provides a program in which a councilor is available 24-

    hours per day. The center provides phone counseling sessions and access to free supplies. The

    number is 1-555-STOPSMOKING.

    Many services are available in our facility; our staff can assist a patient in finding

    financial resources to assist him or her while staying in the hospital or providing a patient with

    pastoral care. We treat our patients like family because without them we are nothing. One of our

    most comprehensive programs is the Safe Kids Program. The program is in existence to

    prevent accidental childhood injury because it is a leading killer of children 14 and under. As

    prevention our staff will educate parents, children, and his or her family about ways to prevent

    injury. Our facility offers a strong volunteer program which consists of an Auxiliary for adults,

    the Nightingales for retired nurses, and a teen program for ages 14-18. The services range from

    escort and errand to hospitality and family services. In the future we hope to provide 50,000

    hours of service annually.

    At Wynnewood Health Center our mission is leading healthcare and our vision is to be

    the premier enterprise for the advancement of health care, education, and research for the

    community, state, and region. The improvement of the lives of all people is our goal. These goals

    support the ethical system of the community and the state. The ethical principles of the facility

    include loyalty, respect for people, transparency in our business affairs, and business integrity.

    Our mission will demonstrate that the goal of the facility is to always be available for every

    client who enters the doors. No matter what conditions are present.

    Spirit of progress, team spirit, and service spirit are the demands our administration

    places on the staff of the facility. He or she is expected to have exceptional human qualities and

    specific behaviors. More than 97% of the employees are in direct daily contact with the clients

    and consumers. The effects of values on the facility is great, the personnel are the face of the

    facility and the efforts put forth by him or her is the factor which determines the success of any

    facility but the emphasis of Wynnewood Health Center.
