As Senator Roger Thompson wraps up his career in the Oklahoma Senate, he is about to start a new job as the CEO and Executive Director for the Oklahoma Osteopathic Association. Thompson announced he was leaving the Legislature earlier this month.
“I am honored to join the Oklahoma Osteopathic Association and work alongside dedicated professionals who are committed to improving healthcare in our state. Osteopathic medicine plays a crucial role in providing holistic and patient-centered care, and I look forward to contributing to the association’s efforts to support our physicians and enhance healthcare delivery in Oklahoma. The healthcare system in our state faces many challenges, especially in rural Oklahoma, where many Osteopathic doctors serve vulnerable populations. I plan to be a steadfast advocate for them and everyone in this profession to help uphold our goals and mission,” said Thompson.
Thompson has been in the Senate since 2014. He is the former Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
He will start his new role with the Association on July 1, 2024.
