After reviewing several possible partners, we have selected SCA to join us in this capacity due to their impressive and comprehensive operational platform and their focus on quality patient care," said Dr. Kevin McMullen, Medical Director of the hospital. "Surgical hospitals are high-quality, low-cost providers of surgical services, which creates substantial savings for both the patient and the healthcare system. This makes the Surgical Hospital of Oklahoma an attractive place for my partners and me to care for our patients," said McMullen.

Our partnership with the Surgical Hospital of Oklahoma will allow the physicians utilizing this hospital to focus on clinical excellence while leveraging SCA's nationwide infrastructure and support services.
