The NRH Foundation proudly congratulates James “Rick” McCurdy, MD, on this incredibly well-deserved recognition honoring his extraordinary career, leadership, and service to our community. 💜
Dr. McCurdy was recently surprised with a permanent tribute in Norman Regional’s Surgical Services waiting area, recognizing the lasting impact he has made on patients, colleagues, and generations of families across Cleveland and McClain counties. The special celebration included appearances by the Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band 🥁 and OU coaching legend Barry Switzer 🏈, a meaningful tribute to a hometown hero whose influence reaches far beyond medicine.
A respected surgeon, former Oklahoma Sooners standout, and dedicated community advocate, Dr. McCurdy has spent decades caring for others with compassion and excellence. His family’s legacy of service in our region spans more than 100 years, and his own commitment to advancing healthcare continues to make a difference today.
We are deeply grateful for Dr. McCurdy’s generosity and longtime support of the Norman Regional Health Foundation. His continued dedication to improving the health and well-being of our community is inspiring, and we are honored to celebrate this special recognition alongside him, his family, and our community. Thankful to work with you at Norman Regional!
