Organization:

OCSRI, a cancer treatment and research institute, is the largest physician owned oncology network in Oklahoma.  OCSRI, known for the highest quality of care and outcomes, is an award winning and nationally recognized organization for cancer treatment and research. The organization is a certified cancer center by the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI).  OCSRI is only the second cancer center in Oklahoma to achieve this recognition and is one of less than 300 certified centers in the United States.  OCSRI is affiliated with the Stephenson Cancer Center at The University of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City.  The affiliation means cancer patients in Tulsa and Northeastern Oklahoma have access to a larger number of National Cancer Institute-sponsored clinical oncology trials.  OCSRI was formed in 2016 as a partnership between Ascension St John Health System and Tulsa Cancer Institute to provide comprehensive outpatient oncology services to patients in Oklahoma and the region. 

OCSRI, employing more than 400 staff members, includes more than 42 physicians and advanced practice providers.  OCSRI provides care at six sites: OCSRI Tulsa – main campus, OCSRI Bartlesville Cancer Center, OCSRI Skin Cancer Center, OCSRI Breast Clinic, Stillwater Cancer Center, and Ascension St John Medical Center. 

In 2013, OCSRI opened the most integrated cancer center of its kind in the region.  The $60 million, 86,000 square foot facility is now OCSRI’s main campus.  It’s Oklahoma’s largest medical facility built by a group of private physicians and the largest number of cancer specialists at one center.  In addition to new technologies the new facility features a wellness center, healing gardens, a mentoring area, and bright, open spaces to provide patients contemporary care that promotes serenity and healing.
