Leadership that shares your perspective
At SSM Health Oklahoma, our nurses have the assurance they have a voice with our senior leaders. The presidents of our two hospitals, Tammy Powell at St. Anthony in Oklahoma City, and Angi Mohr at St. Anthony in Shawnee, are strong advocates for nurses. Before entering administrative roles, both cared for patients at the bedside in the hospitals they are currently leading. Tammy and Angi have been with SSM Health for nearly three decades each, and because they have traveled a similar journey as all nurses in the ministry, they have a great respect for the contributions of the nursing team.
