Strategic Plan 2026 - 2036

Dear CHS Family,

Over the past decade, we have achieved remarkable milestones together. Thanks to your dedication, we have seen unprecedented campus growth, an incredible increase in student enrollment, the expansion of our clinic network, partnerships to create the Academic Medical District downtown and the successful addition of our College of Osteopathic Medicine campus in Tahlequah.

The next 10 years are exciting as we continue to develop new and innovative approaches to achieving our mission to serve rural and underserved Oklahoma. Today, I am proud to announce the official launch of our four 2026-2036 strategic plans.

These comprehensive plans — covering the Center for Health Sciences, the College of Osteopathic Medicine, our Research initiatives and our Information Technology infrastructure — will guide our institutional pillars to Educate, Discover, Heal and Engage.

They outline bold objectives for our future, including strengthening our academic programs, growing enrollment, promoting student success, investing in teaching and learning resources, developing new pathways and support for research, promoting clinical care excellence, expanding residency training and virtual care networks, and enhancing the digital infrastructure that supports all of our efforts.

I want to sincerely thank all of those involved in helping to craft these plans, particularly the strategic planning committee members across our campuses. Your hard work has provided us with a phenomenal roadmap.

I strongly encourage all faculty and staff to take a moment to read and become familiar with these plans. Understanding our shared goals will be essential as we work together to align our daily efforts with our long-term vision.

Thank you for your continued commitment to our students, our patients and the communities we serve.

Go Pokes!

Dr. Johnny Stephens
President
