Does Tulsa have a progressive medical or health sciences district? If so, I would like to see pics...

OSU has their osteopathic medical school and hospital downtown, but it's nowhere near the size and scope of the Health Sciences Center in OKC.

OU-Tulsa also has a community medicine program at the campus at 41st & S. Yale.

Beyond that, they just have hospitals / medical centers spread around town.

I would say there is a primary medical corridor along South Yale, between Skelly Drive (51st) and 71st. It is an area with a decent-sized skyline.

Of course the CityPlex towers in far south Tulsa were originally built as a hospital, and those are almost 700 ft tall. Now it's just assorted office space (and vacant space).

That's the OSU Medical Center which is downtown.


The medical college is directly accross the river from there but is not downtown, this is the newest building finished in the last year:

OU has a large and growing campus at 41st and Yale:

South Yale has a large medical cluster and has at three hospitals with St Francis Medical Center (Tulsa’s largest hospital), St Francis Children’s Hospital, and Laureate with a lot of high rise clinic buildings all along a one mile section of Yale.
This is the new Children's Hospital

And the cool looking new Natalie Building

Then in midtown there’s the Utica corridor from 15th to 21st streets by Utica Square with St John Medical Center (Tulsa’s 2nd largest) and Hillcrest(3rd) all in the same half mile of Utica Ave.
This is the St John Campus:

And now there’s a growing third cluster at 91st and US 169 with Southcrest on side of the highway and St Francis South on the other and just a mile north at 81st is the big Cancer Treatment Centers of America hospital. St Francis is also planning a heart hospital across the street from the South hospital.

Yeah but that is kind of like how every city has a a handful of medical clusters scattered around.

P.S. What is it about OSU and ugly design?

I don't know. It looks more like a new county jail.

Yeah, Spartan, I scrolled up myself and saw it. Looks better than the first picture that has an OSU logo on it. Looks like a federal facility to me.

OSU evidently wants to develop its medical complex downtown into something much larger, and they are starting a massive renovation of the current facilities. It will be interesting to see if they start building research buildings like OU. OSU occupies the SW corner of downtown Tulsa (OSU Medical Center) and an area across the river where the HSC is located. It is one of the better DO schools in the region.
