About the Hospital
As a two-hospital, 320-bed full-service health system, EASTAR Health System provides a comprehensive range of medical services and high quality care. We are a forward thinking, innovative hospital where trust, teamwork and technology come together to make a positive difference in the health of our community and region. Our Joint Commission accreditation powerfully demonstrates our commitment to meet the highest national standards for quality and safety. And the entire system boasts all-private patient rooms.

As one of the first hospitals established in Oklahoma, the west campus of EASTAR Health (formerly Muskogee Regional Medical Center) has grown to become one of the state's largest and most comprehensive facilities.

The many services include a Cancer Treatment Center featuring the Novalis TX Radiosurgery with RapidArc, one of the most modern, efficient and effective weapons in the fight against cancer. Eastar Health is the only facility in Eastern Oklahoma to have the Novalis TX, and one of only four in the state.

The newly remodeled Emergency Department has the distinction of being a Level III Trauma Center as well as a Primary Stroke Center. Our Cardiac Catheterization Lab is one of few facilities in the region that uses the radial approach on a majority of patients, which is more comfortable and provides less risk. Additionally, patients receive the benefit of the same person at intake, treatment and recovery, allowing for better patient-caregiver relationship. Other cardiac services provided at EASTAR Health include EKG, Cardiac Ultrasound, Nuclear Scanning, Holter Monitoring, Stress Testing, Transesophageal Endoscopy and Pacemaker Insertion.

The surgical wing features eight advanced operating suites, Same Day Surgery with private family waiting bays, Endoscopy and Total Joint Replacement. Our Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center takes an interdisciplinary approach and offers inpatient, outpatient and acute services, featuring physical, speech, and occupational therapy.

There are also fully integrated Home Health Services, a full array of Women's Services featuring; a family centered labor/delivery, Certified Breast Feeding Advisors, Community Education classes, Pediatrics and Gynecology, and Providence Imaging, offering a comfortable and serene atmosphere for tests such as mammograms. The hospital's Imaging Department recently added Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Services. Finally, EASTAR Health houses The Pavilion, an inpatient behavioral health unit.
