AllianceHealth Durant Reports on its Care for the Durant Community in 2025
3/9/2026
Total Impact Exceeded $167 Million
Durant, OK, March 9, 2026 – At more than 124,000 patient encounters last year, AllianceHealth Durant delivered on its commitment to provide quality healthcare for the Durant community. The health system’s 2025 Community Benefit Report shows care extended well beyond the hospital and clinics, contributing more than $167 million to the region through charity/uncompensated care provided, capital dollars reinvested in services and facilities, employee payroll, charitable projects and payment of more than $5.5 million in taxes.
The health system used its resources to increase access and strengthen services through more than $15 million in projects. In 2025, we welcomed Dr. Srikanth Mudiganty to our orthopedics group. In addition, we purchased equipment for surgical services, such as a new specialty surgical table, new videolaryngoscope, autoclave and powerdrills, thus enhancing surgical precision, efficiency and patient safety.
The reinvestment in services benefits local residents and serves as an important resource for patients who come from other hospitals that are 30, 60, or even as far as 100 miles away.
“We are here to care for our patients and the place we all call home,” said Shelton Williams, chief executive officer of AllianceHealth Durant. “Health is central to quality of life, and we offer advanced medical services here in Durant to make it easy to access the care you need. It’s our privilege to transform lives every day, helping patients manage their health at every stage of life.”
Area families grew with the help of AllianceHealth Durant as more than 700 babies were delivered in 2025.
Keeping patients safe remains a priority, and this focus has led to more than 1,000 days without a serious safety event and more than 500 days without a catheter-associated urinary tract infection or central line blood stream infection.
Emergency medicine is a critical service, with more than 27,000 visits to the emergency room at AllianceHealth Durant. Life-saving medically necessary care was provided to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, with more than $92 million in charity and uncompensated care in 2025.
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 J127 Ministries, The Payton Project and Colton’s Main Street Run, AllianceHealth Durant gives back to the community throughout the year.
Payroll of more than $47 million supports the delivery of around the clock care by a team of physicians, nurses and support staff, all passionate about serving patients. Their compassion and skills make a difference in the lives of neighbors, friends and the larger community.
“We have immense gratitude for every member of our team, and we are investing in resources to support them in their work and a culture that attracts and retains these talented people,” said Williams. “This team is passionate about delivering quality care to those who are counting on us. We have an unwavering commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence, and doing the right thing every day for those who trust us with their care.”
Support for the future healthcare workforce includes training the next generation of medical professionals such as nursing students (RN/LPN), EMTs, paramedics, scrub techs, radiology, laboratory, respiratory, medical students and physician residents.
