Meet Haley Tippin, APRN-CNP! 💚 For 12 years, Haley has been a vital asset to the team at INTEGRIS Health. This year alone, she cared for and managed more than 900 hepatology patients at INTEGRIS Health Nazih Zuhdi Transplant Institute.

Outside of work, Haley spends her time with family and friends. She enjoys travelling, hunting for treasures at thrift stores, painting, taking yoga classes with her son, gardening and completing the New York Times crossword puzzle. We are proud to have Haley on the INTEGRIS Health team. She is the true embodiment of our mission to help patients live healthier lives.

INTEGRIS Health is excited to welcome Christina Highley, M.D., to INTEGRIS Health Medical Group Moore as a board-certified family medicine physician. “My journey to becoming a doctor was challenging. Those experiences, while difficult, have helped me relate more to my patients and have undoubtedly strengthened my relationships with them. I wouldn’t say I chose to focus on complex patients; rather, they chose me! I wouldn’t change it for the world. The bond that forms through navigating each patient’s complexities leads to a much deeper connection and, I believe, better healing.” Her areas of interest include complex or chronic conditions, weight management, mental health and preventive medicine. Dr. Highley is accepting new patients! To schedule an appointment or to learn more, call 405-793-1188 or visit our website. https://lnkd.in/gzc8PiMc

Losing a loved one to sudden loss can feel like having the ground swept out from under you. Though grief is a part of life, navigating it alone can make the healing process even more challenging. The journey is rarely linear, and many people need a support system to help them cope. Seeking guidance, whether from a grief counselor, caregiver or health care professional, can provide the tools and comfort needed to process emotions in a healthy way. https://bit.ly/4pHjQ2v

INTEGRIS Health Medical Group Endocrinology Moore is thrilled to welcome Tan Pham, M.D., as a board-certified endocrinologist with over 20 years of experience. His areas of interest include diabetes, thyroid and parathyroid disease, adrenal disorders, metabolic bone conditions, pituitary disorders and hypogonadism. "My greatest satisfaction comes from guiding patients through the long journey of living with an endocrine disorder. I love helping them celebrate small victories, work through setbacks and gain confidence in managing their condition on their own terms. My role is to listen, educate and explain treatment options—being clear about what we can and cannot achieve—while also knowing when to reach out for help from colleagues. I have learned that much of what I know about endocrinology comes from the patients themselves, and that keeps me inspired every day." Dr. Pham is accepting new patients!
