Established in 2024, the Physician of the Year Award was created to honor a physician who has dedicated their life to the practice of medicine and serves as a role model to others in the profession and the community. As we introduced our new beneficiary, the Physician Recruitment Pipeline, this award reflects our commitment to recognizing excellence in healthcare and inspiring future generations of medical professionals.

Physician of the Year

Dr. Gary Patzkowsky

2024 PHYSICIAN OF THE YEAR

Committed to community service, he has coached youth sports, provided school physicals for 25+ years, and volunteered with the Enid Community Clinic, Oklahoma Osteopathic Association, and Northwest Oklahoma Osteopathic Foundation.
