Healing Through Teamwork
Dr. Richard Lofgren leads OU Health with a simple but powerful philosophy: when employees thrive, patients do too.
At OU Health, says CEO Richard Lofgren, M.D., “It’s about the team.”
The human resources department recently adopted a slogan, Lofgren says: “You take care of our patients, so let us take care of you.”
A $22 million employee incentive program rewarded all team members for the system’s fiscal year 2025 performance, Lofgren says, with bonuses distributed in late October.
Expanded benefits include a 6% 401(k) match, paid family leave and career development programs.
“When you come here, we are helping you to advance your entire career,” Lofgren says. “We have really doubled down on this idea that when you come here, you are going to skill-up.”
In March of 2022, Lofgren became the inaugural president and chief executive officer of the University of Oklahoma’s unified academic health system, which includes Oklahoma Children’s OU Health, the Stephenson Cancer Center and the University of Oklahoma Medical Center flagship academic hospital. Physicians serve as faculty at the OU College of Medicine. With more than 11,000 employees and more than 1,300 physicians and advanced practice providers, the system serves all 77 Oklahoma counties.
Lofgren comes to Oklahoma with experience as a physician, researcher, medical school faculty member and health system administrator. But he doesn’t see his job as a balancing act between OU Health’s missions, “because they are inextricably linked. That’s what allows us to provide outstanding care for our patients.”
Milestones during his time at OU include a financial turnaround, with overall revenue growing from $1.5 billion to $3.4 billion in a little over three years. Patient outcomes have improved, too; OU Health is now ranked among the top 10% of academic hospitals with a lowered rate of hospital-acquired infections.
“It’s really about best practices, and recognizing that healthcare is a team sport,” Lofgren says. “We have dramatically improved some of our quality measures.”
Admissions increased 5.7% and clinic visits grew by 9.4% in fiscal year 2025, with system-wide occupancy rising from 76 to 81%.
“We just entered into a partnership with Stillwater in opening a Level 2 neonatal intensive care unit at Stillwater Medical Center,” Lofgren says, to bring advanced neonatal care closer to rural families. And scheduled for a December 2026 opening is a pediatric behavioral health center. The center will offer 72 beds for short-term stabilization and long-term care, with a staff of 400.
“The mental health crisis is daunting,” Lofgren continues. “One in five children has some sort of mental health disorder.”
Stephenson Cancer Center has expanded to Norman and soon to Tulsa, and the Pediatric Heart Transplant Program was re-started, performing the state’s first pediatric heart transplant in more than 30 years.

Building Better Every Day
CEO Ivan Crossland, Jr., keeps his father’s legacy alive at Crossland Construction by focusing on growth through skill, grit and a commitment to people.

A company must grow to stay alive, says the CEO of Crossland Construction, but that doesn’t always mean getting bigger.
“It means getting better at what we do, every single day,” says Ivan Crossland Jr., CEO of the construction conglomerate that has offices in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, as well as in Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado, Missouri and Texas.
“We’ve got crews out there every day pouring concrete, setting steel, doing the work with our own hands,” he says. “That’s what keeps us grounded. At the same time, we’re not afraid of change either. We try to stay on the front end of new technology and new equipment.”
The company was founded in 1977 by Ivan Crossland Sr., a Korean War veteran and father of ten. He died in 2002, leaving his legacy to the six sons he had trained to run the company while battling cancer.
“My dad taught us how to build,” Crossland says. “How to pour concrete, hang steel and do carpentry work, and we’ve never let that go. Performing the work is part of our DNA. The difference today is that we’re doing it on a much larger, more complex scale with advanced tools and equipment.”
Drawing on his U.S. Army background, his father would say, “you’ve got to train your troops,” Crossland says. “That mindset stuck with us. Today, we have a nationally recognized education department that exists to do exactly that, to train and equip our people to be the best.”
Crossland says the company has kept his father’s vision alive by continuing to invest in its people, and it’s the employees who keep him passionate about his work.
“You see crews out there taking on tougher, more complex jobs every year, and they just figure it out. They don’t back down from a challenge; they lean into it,” he says. “That attitude, that grit, is what makes this company special. Watching our people grow, seeing young builders turn into leaders, that’s what keeps me passionate. It reminds me why we do what we do.”
The company has had many milestones during its decades of expansion.
“The first big one for me was the Technology Center at Pittsburg State University,” Crossland says of the Kansas project. “That was our first major job back then, late ’90s, and it really changed the trajectory of our company. It proved we could take on large, complex projects and deliver.”

Betting on Heritage & Growth
Driven by passion and duty, Kimberly Pearson has transformed Osage Casinos into a powerful engine for cultural preservation, community impact and generational opportunity.
Her love for the Osage Nation is at the very heart of everything Kimberly Pearson, CEO of Osage Casinos, puts into — and out of — her company every day. Hailing from a long line of Osage heritage, Pearson considers it not just her passion, but her duty.
“That is what motivates the decisions and the hard work we all put in each day,” Pearson says. “We are the largest revenue generator for the Osage Nation’s budget, and we don’t take that lightly. This job is so rewarding, because my work directly helps fund the programs that support the Osage people and preserve our culture.”
Over the past five years, Osage Casinos has increased its distribution to the Osage Nation each year and has contributed nearly $400 million to the Nation’s budget. The company employs more than 1,500 people in Osage County and gives back to the communities in which their employees and Osage citizens live and work.
One of the company’s accomplishments that Pearson is most proud of is the re-acquisition of the nation’s historic lands.
“The casino properties sit on land that was historically Osage,” she says. “The history of how tribal lands were taken from the Osage goes beyond Oklahoma history. Our territory stretched across Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. I led the majority of recent efforts to place the land we acquired into trust. When I started with Osage Casinos, we had lost most of our reservation, but proceeds from the casinos have helped us to reacquire hundreds of thousands of acres.”
Being one of the largest employers in the rural communities of the county, Osage Casinos has a big economic impact in these areas and brings needed jobs to the table.
“Osage Casinos has a culture of promoting from within our current employee base,” Pearson says. “Each location has many entry-level options for people to get hired in these small communities, often without the need of a college degree. We are a highly regulated industry, but we are looking for attentive, responsible people who are going to show up and do the work.”
Opportunity is what makes Osage Casinos a great company to work for, Person says.
“We support our team members and give them opportunities for career advancement,” she says. “In the last year, we opened a state-of-the-art training center for employees from across the enterprise to learn, grow and share skills. This has been a game changer for information sharing, career growth and new opportunities for our team.”

Growing People, Not Just Profits
Randy Nail, CEO of HoganTaylor, sees his business as a platform for growth, connection and contribution.
It’s not just what you do for a living or how you do it. It’s who you are while doing it — and who you can become. That’s the philosophy of Randy Nail, CEO of HoganTaylor, a public accounting and business advisory firm with more than 400 employees in five locations.
“At Hogan Taylor, you don’t sign up to have a job,” he says. “You sign up to make a contribution to the greater good. I’m trying, as a leader, to create an environment where human beings thrive. If we can grow as human beings, then not only will we thrive in the market place, we can also take principles learned into our homes, into our friendships, and into our communities.”
He says the work is not just about debits, credits and finding financial balance.
“Surrounding yourself with good people committed to that kind of shared purpose makes the work we do so much more meaningful,” Nail says. “It is an incredible privilege, responsibility, burden — all of those things are true — to lead HoganTaylor.”
Since 2009, HoganTaylor has opened up new offices, merged in other firms and has been recognized in publications like Accounting Today and Inside Public Accounting. But Nail measures success in a different way.
“The milestone that we’re particularly proud of is watching somebody come in on day one and then 12, 13 years later, they’re still here and they’re still growing,” Nail says. “And they are happy, and they’re great human beings. They have become culture champions, and they are promoting and extending who we are into new generations in ways that I couldn’t.”
Innovation at HoganTaylor, Nail says, is more than the latest and greatest technology.
“For us, it’s a mindset,” he says. “We call it micro innovation — where it might not always be the one big thing that changes everyone’s lives, but it’s the thousand little things people learn and do every day that might save five minutes here or 10 minutes there.”
Community service is a core value at HoganTaylor, Nail says, as they give employees 24 hours of paid time to volunteer for the causes that mean the most to them. And Nail has a message to his employees:
“I see your grit,” he says. “I see your generosity. I see how you bring your heart every day. It reminds me of why I love to work so much with you and to be your leader, and I’m honored.”
