3/24/2025
AllianceHealth Durant provided care to thousands of area residents in 2024, with more than 137,000 patient encounters across its network of physician clinics and other outpatient sites of care. In addition to delivering safe, quality, compassionate healthcare, the health system is helping those in need, supporting charitable organizations and contributing to the area economy. In its most recent Community Benefit Report, AllianceHealth Durant’s impact totaled an estimated $140 million in 2024.
“Our work to grow and enhance the medical services we provide is ongoing, as we continuously improve our safety and quality and support access to healthcare for our community,” said Shelton Williams, chief executive officer of AllianceHealth Durant. “From providing care to our most vulnerable residents to supporting local charitable organizations, we are proud to make an impact on the health, well-being and quality of life in Bryan County.”
AllianceHealth Durant’s emergency room provides lifesaving, medically necessary care at more than 27,000 patient encounters each year, treating all patients regardless of their ability to pay. In 2024, AllianceHealth Durant provided approximately $75 million in charity and uncompensated care and provided resources to help patients in need secure medications and medical support devices.
The health system and its employees also support local organizations that make a difference, especially those addressing social determinants of health. Through service projects such as the annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter drive for Hands of Hope Food Bank and contributions to charitable organizations such as the Pregnancy Center of Bryan County, Red River Food Drive, and Colton’s Run, AllianceHealth Durant gives back to the community throughout the year.
To enhance patient care and expand healthcare access, AllianceHealth Durant is investing in medical services, facilities and technologies. Capital projects in 2024 totaled approximately $6.1 million and included improvements to patient rooms, such as bedside tables and new mattresses and implementation of a new electronic medical record system.
The hospital also took steps to strengthen Women’s Health Services, adding OB/GYN, Dr. Autumn Hensley, and nurse practitioner, Jessica Williams. The Women’s Center now offers wireless fetal monitoring, allowing laboring mothers to move freely, while still monitoring the fetal heartbeat.
“We are strategically applying our resources to help area residents have access to the care they need close to home,” said Williams. “These investments, along with outstanding medical staff and employees, support our delivery of high quality medical care and services for a positive patient experience.”
AllianceHealth Durant is one of the community’s larger employers with a payroll of approximately $47 million. Support for the future healthcare workforce includes training the next generation of medical professionals. AllianceHealth Durant continues to work with local colleges, universities, and career tech schools to increase the number of clinicians in the community, including nursing students (RN/LPN), EMTs, paramedics, scrub techs, radiology, laboratory, respiratory, medical students and physician residents.
In addition to supporting the local economy through job creation, AllianceHealth Durant paid $5.7 million in taxes in 2024, monies that support local infrastructure and civic resources.
