St. John Health System

Founded in 1926 by the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, St. John Medical Center is a regional leader in radiology, cardiology, oncology, urology, wellness and physical rehabilitation. The sprawling campus which now encompasses St. John in mid-town Tulsa is a far cry from the modest, 50-bed structure opened nearly 75 years ago. The 21st Street Expansion Project, St. John's most ambitious construction project in nearly 25 years, will further expand the campus to include three new structures and is scheduled for completion sometime in 2004.

Nearly 700 physicians and thousands of skilled medical professionals utilize the latest medical technology to fulfill St. John's mission of providing medical excellence and compassionate care to patients in the many communities the medical center serves. From newborns to senior care, St. John offers a full range of services. For decades, Oklahoma has turned to St. John Medical Center in times of illness and injury. Today, individuals seeking top-quality, compassionate care can find it at the outstanding hospitals, physician practices, senior living centers, occupational medicine clinics and outpatient facilities that make up the St. John Health System.

Our Mission
