DR. HAROLD BURKHART Just a few years ago, a child in Oklahoma who needed heart surgery would have had to leave the state for treatment. Dr. Harold Burkhart saw an opportunity to change that. “I realized that we could make a difference for kids in Oklahoma right here at The Children’s Hospital at OU Medical Center,” he says. “So we put together a cardiac surgical program for children, a state-of-theart facility and a great staff that’s passionate about cardiac care in kids. Today, we perform more than 450 cardiothoracic surgeries a year, we have the only dedicated pediatric cardiovascular ICU in the state and we treat children from all across Oklahoma.” Burkhart also gives credit to the Children’s Heart Center’s team, which collaborates on the care and treatment of every patient for the best possible outcome, while keeping their families in the loop every step of the way. And while it can make for busy days, Burkhart still takes pride in seeing his vision come to fruition. “The most gratifying thing to me is that we can now take care of all the kids in Oklahoma, right here in Oklahoma City,” he says. “There’s no reason for them to have to go anywhere else.”

PROCURE PROTON THERAPY CENTER The center opened in July 2009 as the sixth proton therapy center in the United States, and today is one of 24 centers nationwide. Personnel at the Memorial Road-based site strive to improve the lives of patients with cancer by increasing access to proton therapy, an advanced form of radiation. Proton therapy more accurately targets the cancerous tissues to spare healthy tissue, which lessens the risk of secondary tumors or damage to other organs after treatment. Proton therapy not only effectively targets a tumor, but also can be used in combination with chemotherapy, as a follow-up treatment to surgery or in combination with standard X-ray radiation treatment. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 18,710 cases of cancer will be diagnosed in Oklahoma in 2017. ProCure strives to provide excellent patient care to those Oklahomans facing cancer, through advancing proton therapy innovation and improvements in technology. 5901 W Memorial, OKC

As an ophthalmologist specializing in the treatment of glaucoma, Dr. Mahmoud Khaimi says his primary goal is to simply preserve vision. To that end, Khaimi pioneered a procedure called AB Interno Canaloplasty (ABiC) using the iTrack™ Catheter, which not only helps preserve the vision of glaucoma patients, but also improves their quality of life. The minimally invasive procedure, which Khaimi likens to ocular angioplasty, simply clears and cleans the eye’s drainage system to help relieve the pressure caused by glaucoma, which causes blindness by damaging the optic nerve. There are no stitches or side effects, and it can be easily combined with cataract removal surgery. And, while the development of ABiC has generated worldwide recognition for Khaimi and the Dean. A. McGee Eye Institute, his greatest satisfaction is still the end result of his work. “I’ve been fortunate to be at the forefront of an incredible breakthrough that has crossed all economic stratospheres and is something everyone can benefit from,” he says. “But for me, the greatest reward is that I can now tell glaucoma patients, ‘There is definite hope for the preservation of your vision.’”

STEPHENSON CANCER CENTER Leading the way in cancer research and treatment, the Stephenson Cancer Center ensures Oklahomans can stay in their home state to receive the expert care they need. Plans to open an academic cancer center in the state were drawn up in 2001, and after more than $90 million from tobacco taxes was set aside, along with a historic $12 million from philanthropists Peggy and Charles Stephenson, the dream was realized when the Stephenson Cancer Center opened its doors in 2011. It’s the state’s only comprehensive cancer center, and the single largest public-private biomedical initiative in Oklahoma history. It also ranks in the top two cancer centers in the nation for patients participating in National Cancer Institute-sponsored treatment trials. Offering each patient a unique treatment plan and support team to help along the way, center researchers are conducting more than 165 research projects to ensure Oklahomans get the very latest in research-driven cancer care. 800 NE 10th, OKC

DR. DONALD MCGINNIS As an orthopedic surgeon at McBride Orthopedic Hospital, as well as the team physician for the University of Oklahoma football and women’s basketball teams, the United States Snowboarding team and the Kingfisher High School football team, Dr. Donald McGinnis stays very active. And whether he’s on the sideline or in the operating room, McGinnis says his ultimate goal is to help his patients stay active, too. “I chose to specialize in orthopedic surgery because it’s more of a hands-on field, and I do both surgery and clinical work,” he says. “During football season, it’s not unusual for me to see someone in my living room on Sunday, as well.” With patients ranging from high school sophomores to septuagenarians, McGinnis says cutting-edge surgical techniques have reduced recovery times and increased success rates for just about everyone. “It’s amazing to see how arthroscopic surgery on the knee and shoulder has progressed and improved,” he says. “But in the end, I want to make sure my patients are well cared for, and I want to help them get back to their normal level of activity.”

As a radiation oncologist for Mercy in Oklahoma City, Dr. Astrid Morrison is trained to precisely target cancerous tumors in her patients. And while her goal is to shrink or destroy those tumors, Morrison appreciates the bigger picture, too. “The best part of radiation oncology is that so many cancer patients can benefit from this treatment modality,” she says. “Each day I feel like I’ve contributed to someone’s life, and it reaches beyond the patient to their family, as well.” Offering the most advanced technology for the treatment of almost every form of cancer, Morrison says Mercy’s Radiation Oncology team in the Coletta Building is making significant differences in the lives of patients. Designed with the needs of the patient in mind, she believes the collaborative nature and supportive spirit of the entire care team plays a huge role in the healing process. “Every day I go to work, I have a positive experience because our Mercy team provides exceptionally unique care to each patient in a beautiful environment,” Morrison says. “It makes me proud this is where I work.”

THE HAROLD HAMM DIABETES CENTER In 2006, to address the looming diabetes health crisis in Oklahoma, an act of the state Legislature established a comprehensive diabetes center at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Native American tribes in Oklahoma joined the state and university in making significant financial commitments to establish the center. This leadership and tenacity spurred many private donors to join the cause, most notably Harold Hamm, who provided the lead naming gift for the center in 2008. Today, Harold Hamm Diabetes Center serves as a statewide focal point for addressing the many challenges diabetes presents. The center has more than 125 members, comprising researchers, clinicians and myriad other health care professionals in the field of diabetes. They represent institutions across the state, including all three OU campuses, Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and Oklahoma State Department of Health. 1000 N Lincoln, Suite 1200, OKC
