Norman Regional Foundation

We’re proud to support an investment that strengthens both safety and efficiency across Norman Regional.

With this NRH Foundation grant, our Security team will be equipped with a new open air patrol vehicle, enhancing their visibility and accessibility throughout our parking areas. This means faster response times, better engagement with patients, visitors, and staff.

This upgrade isn’t just about safety; it’s also a smart financial decision. By transitioning to a lithium-powered cart, we’re reducing maintenance needs, lowering battery replacement costs, and cutting down on mileage and wear on the Norman Regional's existing automobiles. Porter is cruising in style!

Meet Sam Talley, one of the NRH Foundation Board members who truly brings the energy wherever he goes! 🎉

Sam joined the NRH Foundation Board after being inspired by the Executive Team during his very first meeting. That enthusiasm hasn’t slowed down since. Whether he’s attending events, speaking at the reception celebration at the Healthplex, supporting staff or donors, Sam shows up with a smile and a willingness to jump in and help however he can.

Fun fact: Sam was named after his great-grandfather, Sam Hale, a well-known Norman character who owned Hale’s Clothing Store and lived here until 1965. His legendary personality has carried on!

When he’s not helping move the Foundation forward, you might find Sam:
🍬 Snacking on Jolly Ranchers and pretzels during TV time
🗽 Traveling to New York City
🍳 Cooking in the kitchen (a hobby that surprises a lot of people!)
✈️ Dreaming about spending a summer traveling through Europe

Sam says his team “superpower” is facilitating conversation and helping groups reach decisions, and anyone who’s worked with him knows he’s a natural at bringing people together.

But above all, his proudest accomplishment is personal: 21 years of a great marriage! Thank you, Sam, for the greatness you are pouring into the NRH Foundation, your family and our community.

The NRH System Foundation is proud to celebrate a meaningful grant awarded to our Case Management team, ensuring patients experiencing homelessness are discharged with warm, essential clothing during the winter months.

This initiative provides jackets, pants, shirts, socks, and shoes to individuals who would otherwise return to the streets without protection from the cold. By meeting this basic need, we are reducing the risk of hypothermia and illness while restoring dignity and security to some of our community’s most vulnerable neighbors. This grant reflects our commitment to compassionate, holistic care and strengthens our role as a collaborative partner in the Norman community.
