INTEGRIS Health

INTEGRIS Health

INTEGRIS Health was established in 1983 and has since consolidated as the dominant nonprofit health-care provider in Oklahoma. President and CEO Timothy Pehrson oversees a workforce that ranks among the largest private employers in the state, with no publicly disclosed wealth-origin narrative — the entity was formed through hospital mergers, not a single-family fortune. The system deploys capital almost exclusively into brick-and-mortar care infrastructure across Oklahoma. Its footprint includes flagship acute-care campuses such as Baptist Medical Center and Southwest Medical Center in Oklahoma City, regional hospitals in Ponca City and Woodward, and the satellite INTEGRIS Health Edmond facility. Beyond inpatient care, the network operates rehabilitation centers, physician clinics, and the AllSet Urgent Care chain, alongside specialized assets like the INTEGRIS Cancer Institute. A Sikorsky SK-76 medical helicopter supports air-transport capabilities. The organization operates as a pure-play health-care delivery enterprise, not a grantmaking foundation or investment manager. Team size and total asset figures are not publicly reported, though the system’s property holdings across Oklahoma indicate material real-asset deployment. INTEGRIS maintains a related philanthropic arm, the INTEGRIS Health Foundation, chaired by board member Steve Young. Professional affiliations tie leadership into state business circles: Pehrson sits on the boards of the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and the United Way of Central Oklahoma, while CIO Benjamin Mansalis serves on the board of MyHealth Access Network, an Oklahoma health-information exchange. INTEGRIS Health’s structural differentiator is its status as the largest Oklahoma-owned not-for-profit health system in a sector increasingly dominated by out-of-state and publicly traded chains. That local ownership structure concentrates governance and capital-allocation decisions inside the state, making the system a convener of Oklahoma-focused civic and economic-development activity rather than a passive asset allocator.
