My childhood friend sent me some lovely flowers today. I almost shed my first tears. Tomorrow they are holding a retirement party at 2:00 pm and I'm afraid the tears will come then. It is hard to say good-bye to the many friends I have made here. They truly are my work family!
The first time I came here I was 7 years old. I came with a dance group and we danced for the patients. I never forgot that experience. When I came to work here in 1987 I knew it was meant to be.
I've seen so many children's lives changed because of the treatment they received here. Services have expanded considerably since the hospital was founded in 1948. In it's beginning it was an inpatient hospital only. We now provide outpatient services as well as therapeutic services in schools throughout Oklahoma. We have served almost all of the 77 counties in the state.
It's a happy place to be!

Congrats on your retirement. From my experience, you will miss the people you work with and for but will love having the time to finally do what you want, when you want. Enjoy.
Congratulations on your retirement! Enjoy the days to come!
