Saint Francis Health System

Saint Francis Health System

Saint Francis Health System was established in 1960 in Tulsa. Cliff Robertson, MD serves as its President and CEO. The William K. Warren Foundation, founded in 1945, functions as the primary philanthropic vehicle tied to the health system. The system deploys capital through direct ownership of hospital real estate, self-insurance trusts, and limited partnership interests in health technology companies. Confirmed positions include minority ownership in Exela Holdings via Premier Inc. Consortium and limited partner commitments to Spring Health and Thyme Care through The William K. Warren Foundation. Geographic exposure centers on Oklahoma and other United States markets. The system also maintains a 50 percent joint venture in Community Care Managed Healthcare Plans of Oklahoma with Ascension Health. Employee count stands at 10,001. The Saint Francis Health System Foundation, established in 1979, serves as the dedicated fundraising arm and has raised over $128 million since inception. The William K. Warren Foundation reported estimated giving of $28.4 million. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The architecture links a large operating hospital system to two separate foundations that execute investment and grant activity. This creates a direct channel between clinical revenue and mission-aligned capital deployment without an external investment committee layer.
