Julie Watson, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for INTEGRIS Health, joined leadership from OU Health, Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City, and SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital for a joint media event to address the worsening COVID-19 situation in Oklahoma. COVID-19 cases, fueled by the highly contagious Delta variant and a low vaccination rate, have pushed Oklahoma City hospitals, as well as our local hospitals, to capacity. Hospital leaders are asking Oklahomans to wear their masks and get vaccinated in order to slow the surge of hospitalizations.
