The award-winning INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2009. Children, minority populations, people with disabilities, women and the elderly benefited from IBMC-sponsored programs both at the medical center campus and throughout the community.

Awards rolled in, recognizing INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center’s outstanding services and clinicians. In 2007, IBMC received the American Hospital Association’s McKesson Quest for Quality Award, designating it as one of the top five hospitals in the nation; the Magnet designation for excellence in nursing from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, nursing’s highest honor; and Voluntary Hospitals of America presented IBMC with awards for improved performance in hand hygiene, outstanding treatment of heart problems, and a reduction in surgical infections and pneumonia.

The following year, the Advanced Cardiac Care Program, the Surgical Weight Loss Program and the Hyperglycemia Program received national accreditation.

In the community, INTEGRIS continued to provide high-quality education. Western Village Academy received the Fit and Healthy Schools Program of Excellence Best Practices Award and earned designation as one of the nation’s 53 best charter schools as part of the Charter School of the Year Program in 2007. The accolades continued in 2010 with the Blue Ribbon Lighthouse School of Excellence Award. That year, the school was renamed the Stanley Hupfeld Academy at Western Village.

Anniversary celebrations highlighted 2009 and 2010 as the medical center and its auxiliary marked 50 years of excellence. During the medical center’s 50th anniversary year, Stan Hupfeld resigned from INTEGRIS Health to become chairman of the INTEGRIS Family of Foundations and was succeeded by Bruce Lawrence.
