The Hook in One Paragraph
"On his second Monday as Chief Administrative Officer, an EF-5 tornado destroyed Moore Medical Center. Every patient and every employee survived. What Richie Splitt witnessed in the rubble — security officers coordinating like trauma surgeons, housekeepers comforting patients like chaplains — became the foundation of his philosophy of healthcare leadership and the basis for his new book on what healthcare has lost and how to get it back."

KEY STATISTICS
BIO
Richie Splitt has spent three decades in healthcare, from physical therapy tech in 1995 — when the Oklahoma City bombing reshaped his understanding of the work — to president and CEO of one of Oklahoma's largest community-based independent health systems. On his second Monday as Chief Administrative Officer, an EF-5 tornado destroyed Moore Medical Center; every patient and every employee survived, and what he witnessed in the rubble became the foundation of his leadership philosophy. He is a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, was named one of Oklahoma's Most Admired CEOs by The Journal Record in 2020, and led a $310M capital modernization while expanding healthcare access for underserved Oklahomans during the COVID-19 pandemic. His new book, The Healer Revolution: How to Restore the Soul of Healthcare (and Any Organization That Serves Others), with a foreword by Quint Studer, releases May 12, 2026. He writes and speaks on healthcare's meaning crisis, the universality of healer identity, and the architecture of durable culture
