Richie Splitt is the President and Chief Executive Officer at Norman Regional Health System. He leads a team of more than 3,500 healers to fulfill the health system’s mission of serving its community as a leader in health and wellness care. Splitt joined Norman Regional in 2013 as the chief administrative officer of the Norman Regional HealthPlex (168 beds) and Moore Medical Center (44-beds). After one week on the job, an EF-5 tornado destroyed the beloved Moore facility. This tragic and momentous event revealed Splitt’s character as a strong, effective and engaging leader in times of crisis. Splitt helped Norman Regional and its communities find hope, healing, pride and even joy in the face of adversity. In 2017, Splitt was appointed to chief executive officer of the Norman Regional Health System. During his time as President and CEO, NRHS has received numerous clinical recognitions and experienced tremendous growth. Norman Regional has a net revenue of $450 million, 555 licensed beds at its two main campuses, 17 primary care clinics and 25 specialty clinics. Splitt has also led new growth in areas such as population and telehealth – including a direct-toconsumer app called Norman Regional Virtual Care, primary care clinic expansion, and a new transformative campus plan named Inspire Health. Helping others to heal has always been a passion for Splitt. He began his career as a physical therapy technician, providing care to patients for nearly a decade before transitioning into management. Splitt earned his Master of Science in Health and Exercise Science from the University of Oklahoma and his Master of Business Administration from Oklahoma City University. He is board certified in healthcare management and an American College of Healthcare Executives fellow. In 2020, Splitt was named Oklahoma’s Most Admired CEO by The Journal Record in the non-profit category

Norman's "Day of Caring" is on Fri Sep 13th, 2024. Members from Cross Timbers, Sooner, Norman and Legacy Rotary clubs are encouraged to work as one group at a designated non-profit agency that will be selected by the Norman United Way.  

The work project starts at 900 am and this year Rotary will be working at the United Way Office, located in the First United Bank. The address is 570 24 Ave NW Ave, Suite 110.  The building is located at the corner of 24th Ave NW and Boardwalk Street, with the parking lot accessible from Boardwalk Street.  The United Way office is sending out a couple thousand of letters and the task will be stuffing envelopes. So this year, the work will be in a comfortable air conditioned office. A box lunch will be provided at the site between 11 am and noon.  

The event starts at 800 am at Life Church (1500 E Imhoff Rd, Norman, OK 73071) with a light breakfast, coffee and juice are provided. For those who prefer to skip the kickoff, the work project at the designated agency (yet to be determined) starts around 900 am. The work has varied yearly, but it could be yard work, cleaning inside, painting or something similar. The work project usually takes 4 or 5 hours, but you can come and go as it works for your schedule. Box lunches are provided between 11 am and noon, courtesy of The Conference Center at NCED and Bob Usry & Sons (who deliver the lunches). 

If you want to volunteer, complete the registration form in the link below by Aug 7th (to ensure you receive a "Day of Caring" T-Shirt and a boxed lunch). On the form where it asks for the "company name", put in Norman Rotary Clubs.
