Inspire Health
Norman Regional Health System’s transformational plan is made up of four main pillars to reimagine healthcare.
HealthPlex Expansion
We’re expanding the Norman Regional HealthPlex to allow us to consolidate all our acute care services at the HealthPlex.
Norman Regional Nine
We’re building a freestanding emergency department plus in southeast Norman to meet the expanding healthcare needs of residents in the fast-growing area of southeast Norman.
Porter Health Village
We’re changing our focus of the Porter campus from sickness to wellness by offering mixed-use health and lifestyle services at the location of the current historic campus.
Behavioral Health
We’re creating standalone behavioral health hospital on the reimagined Porter campus to help meet the mental health service needs of our community.
Watch Us Grow
Norman Regional’s Inspire Health plan has multiple components. Watch as President and CEO Richie Splitt explains each of the core components in a series of videos. From addressing mental health needs to expanding emergency services, Inspire Health will affect our patients, neighbors and friends. (Please note that this video was filmed in 2019 before masking guidelines.)
