Deaconess Hospital

What Deaconess Hospital does

Deaconess Hospital is a 313-bed independent, non-profit acute care hospital headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, founded in 1900 (originally as the Oklahoma Rescue Home) and operating continuously since. It is the only non-affiliated healthcare facility in greater Oklahoma City and serves patients across Oklahoma with a comprehensive service portfolio spanning emergency medicine (25,000+ visits/year), cardiac care (nearly 250 open-heart surgeries annually), cancer care (PET imaging, Tomo Therapy), maternity services (18 LDRP suites and a Level II NICU), outpatient surgery (4,000+ procedures/year), behavioral medicine, gero-psychiatric care, and clinical laboratory services (2 million+ tests/year). Its core technology stack centers on advanced medical imaging — including the first all-digital networked cardiac and vascular imaging lab in Oklahoma, Hologic Selenia digital mammography, PET imaging under the Oklahoma Clinical PET Center, and Tomo Therapy — alongside comprehensive 24/7 radiology, laboratory (CAP-accredited), and critical care services. The hospital distributes care through a multi-site network (main campus at 5501 N Portland Ave, Deaconess at Bethany, the Great Plains Family Practice Residency, Oklahoma Surgery and Urology Center, Open Arms Free Clinic, and Copper Lake Retirement Facility) and generates revenue through inpatient, outpatient, and emergency patient care services delivered under standard healthcare reimbursement arrangements. Go-to-market is community-led, leveraging the HealthLink physician referral service (100+ affiliated physicians), Speaker's Bureau, community education seminars, support groups, and health fairs to drive patient acquisition across its delineated segments: general community, senior adults, women/maternity, behavioral health, and cancer patients.

Emerging players

• Acadia Healthcare: National operator of behavioral health facilities, including psychiatric and substance abuse treatment programs. A partial peer for Deaconess's Senior Diagnostic Center and outpatient behavioral medicine / substance abuse treatment services, representing specialized competition in those lines.

Broad incumbents

• HCA Healthcare: The largest for-profit hospital operator in the U.S., with significant presence across the broader region. Represents the national scale incumbent against which Deaconess must compete on payer contracts, physician recruitment, and capital investment capacity.
• INTEGRIS Health: Oklahoma's largest not-for-profit health system headquartered in Oklahoma City, operating multiple hospitals and clinics that directly compete with Deaconess for inpatient, outpatient, and emergency volumes in the same metro. As a system-affiliated broad incumbent, it represents the primary competitive threat in Deaconess's core market.
• SSM Health St. Anthony: SSM Health's Oklahoma City hospital, a Catholic-affiliated acute care system offering emergency, cardiac, and maternity services that overlap directly with Deaconess's core service lines. The faith-based affiliation makes it a particularly close peer in mission and patient demographic.
• AdventHealth: Faith-based non-profit health system operating community hospitals across the U.S. with a mission profile closely aligned to Deaconess's Christian, community-service identity, but at significantly larger scale.
• Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City: Part of the Mercy Catholic health system, Mercy OKC offers comprehensive acute care services in the same metro as Deaconess, including cardiac, oncology, maternity, and emergency care. Directly comparable in faith-based mission, regional scale, and service-line breadth.
• Ascension Health: One of the largest Catholic non-profit health systems in the U.S., operating community hospitals across multiple states. A peer in faith-based, non-profit community hospital identity at national scale, useful for benchmarking governance and capital strategy.
• CommonSpirit Health: One of the largest U.S. non-profit Catholic health systems, formed from the merger of Catholic Health Initiatives and Dignity Health. Provides a national-scale, faith-affiliated peer benchmark for Deaconess's independent, mission-driven operating model.
• OU Health: Oklahoma's academic health system, anchored by OU Health Sciences Center, providing tertiary and quaternary care in Oklahoma City. While more academic in orientation, it competes with Deaconess for higher-acuity cardiac, cancer, and complex case referrals in the same geography.

Regional players

• Saint Francis Health System: Tulsa-based non-profit Catholic health system serving eastern Oklahoma. Operates as a regional peer with comparable faith-based identity and community hospital profile, though its primary market does not overlap with Deaconess's Oklahoma City core.
