Until every one of our neighbors is healthy. Until every answer is revealed. We will challenge the impossible and pioneer the unimaginable.

We are OU Health, and we are Never Done. Never Outdone.

She was out of options. Then she found Academic Health.

When Saige Maxville—a vibrant young woman from the Choctaw Nation—was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer, she faced the fight of her life.

But with personalized care, cultural strength, and breakthrough science, Saige turned a devastating diagnosis into a story of resilience and hope. Her journey is one of many that show why OU Health is never done—and never outdone.

Where the hardest questions are wrestled, challenged, and conquered.

Dr. Doris Benbrook has developed a groundbreaking cancer drug called OK-1, entirely within Oklahoma, without major pharmaceutical backing. OK-1, now in Phase 1 clinical trials at OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center, targets cancer cells while sparing healthy ones, potentially revolutionizing cancer treatment.

Derived from vitamin A, OK-1 disables protective proteins in cancer cells, making them more vulnerable. If successful, OK-1 could become a game-changing treatment option.

What if we trained the next generation not to just treat disease, but to cure it?

OU Health Ph.D. candidate Alex Arreola is making national headlines as one of just 15 recipients of a prestigious National Cancer Institute grant this year. His groundbreaking research at Stephenson Cancer Center explores how pancreatic tumors trigger cachexia—a devastating syndrome that causes rapid muscle and fat loss even before cancer is diagnosed.

By uncovering how tumors hijack the brain’s fight-or-flight response, Arreola hopes to pave the way for new treatments that improve quality of life for patients. Inspired by his father's battle with pancreatic cancer, his work is both deeply personal and scientifically promising.
