As you enter Stillwater Medical Center, you'll immediately recognize an institution that genuinely respects and values independent CRNA practice. This 120-bed acute care facility reflects nearly five decades of community dedication to healthcare excellence, with ongoing modernization that prioritizes patient care and provider satisfaction. Here, CRNAs are empowered to practice independently without restrictive supervision protocols.
This is a place where you'll join a legacy of success, recognized as one of the nation’s top 100 healthcare workplaces for seven consecutive years. This distinction stems from a culture of mutual respect, with leaders like CEO Denise Webber exemplifying accessibility and collaboration through her open-door leadership style.
You’ll practice across two exceptional facilities designed for autonomy: the main hospital with seven state-of-the-art ORs and Surgery Center West, nationally recognized for its design and infection control. The center’s endoscopy suite has been praised by DNV surveyors as the best scope integrity layout they've seen, allowing you to focus on excellence rather than constraints.
Stillwater Medical’s public trust authority structure reinforces its mission-driven governance. With no corporate shareholders, decisions prioritize community benefit and clinical quality over profit, ensuring CRNAs are seen as valued clinicians rather than cost-saving resources.
Your practice is supported by modern systems that enhance clinical independence. The hospital’s transition from MEDITECH to Epic EMR ensures that documentation is efficient and aligned with your independent workflow.
Surgery Center West features individual room climate control and advanced sterile processing, reinforcing an environment where technology supports—not impedes—clinical performance. These investments demonstrate a clear commitment to CRNA efficiency and autonomy.
Financial stability underpins this support: with $278.9 million in net revenue and over $404 million in assets, Stillwater Medical continually invests in people and technology. A current ratio of 3.1 indicates prudent fiscal management, allowing for uninterrupted support of CRNA resources.
You’ll be joining an organization with proven results. Medicare Value-Based Purchasing scores are in the 82nd percentile, while HCAHPS scores sit at the 70th percentile – clear indicators that independent practice leads to high-quality outcomes.
With a market share of 62.8% outpatient and 42% inpatient, Stillwater Medical is the provider of choice in the region. Patients recognize and value the difference that expert CRNA care brings to their surgical experience.
This culture attracts talent from across the state. Providers frequently commute from Tulsa and Oklahoma City for the chance to work in a facility where autonomy and respect are daily realities, not aspirational goals.
The diverse payor mix – 53.4% private/self-pay, 26.8% Medicaid, 19.8% Medicare – demonstrates a broad, stable population base that appreciates and supports independent CRNA practice.
By joining Stillwater Medical, you enter a practice environment where independent CRNA care is celebrated, supported, and respected. This is nurse anesthesia at its best – where your training, experience, and clinical decisions shape patient care in a culture that truly values your contribution.
