University of Oklahoma President David L. Boren, OU Children’s Physicians and several of their young patients gathered earlier this month with state and local dignitaries to celebrate the start of a bright new future for children’s health care in Oklahoma. With a thumbs up and a yell of “tear that building down,” they signaled the wrecking ball operator to begin making way for a new $50 million pediatric outpatient care facility.

Dewayne Andrews, M.D., Executive Dean of the College of Medicine, said the new building “will not only enhance care, it will bring to Oklahoma still more top physicians. In turn, they will bring with them new research and treatments formerly unavailable” in Oklahoma.

Currently, most OU Children's Physicians offices are located within the expanses of The Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center. The new building will provide one centralized location, where pediatric patients can visit with their doctors outside the hospital setting. “This is a dream come true for those of us who practice here,” said Kenneth Copeland, M.D., OU Children’s Physicians Medical Director. “We’re looking forward to having a building … that functions as a cutting-edge, outpatient care center for children – a place where children come to get better.”
