Plastic surgery safer these days
Since 1996, Dr. James Worrell has been liquefying and lasering patients in Enid.

Home health care helps patients be more comfortable

“This had been good for me,” she says with her arm around LPN Deana Broekhuizen. “I have a really good nurse.”

Krista Roberts, director of business development at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center, likes the challenge of recruiting physicians to come practice in Enid.

Diagnosis helps lead woman into the medical field
