At 80, Billie Acree wasn't about to let stomach cancer slow her down. After 51 years working at OU Health University of Oklahoma Medical Center, she knew she was in the right hands when she received her diagnosis in September 2024.

"After my endoscopy, the doctors said, 'We found a mass. I'm 100% sure it's cancer,'" Billie said. "I asked, 'Well, what do I do? I want to get rid of it.'"

After four months of chemotherapy with Dr. Sagila George, OU Health hematologist/oncologist and an assistant professor in the Section of Hematology/Oncology at the OU College of Medicine, Billie underwent surgery to remove one-third of her stomach.

“Dr. George said most people with stomach cancer don't make it, especially at my age — but I did," Billie said.

This was Billie’s third battle with cancer. She had survived breast cancer in the 1980s and again in 2012. But stomach cancer is different. It’s more aggressive. More challenging. Still, the team at OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center never wavered.

"I think they have more highly trained doctors and a support system that other hospitals don’t have," Billie said. "My whole treatment team treated me so well. I just felt like I was receiving miracle care."

Throughout her treatment, Billie continued working from home two days a week. She never got sick from chemotherapy and never experienced the debilitating side effects she'd heard about. When Billie rang the bell signaling the end of her treatment, the entire room erupted in cheers. About 75 people showed up to celebrate her 80th birthday in March. She's now in physical therapy, getting stronger every day, and heading back to the office.

For anyone facing a cancer diagnosis, Billie's advice is simple: "I would tell them to see our doctors at Stephenson. I don't think other hospitals have the experience that Stephenson has. Dr. George especially was such a blessing to me. She really was."

Today, at 80 years young, Billie is living proof that age is just a number, that faith and science work beautifully together, and that the team at Stephenson Cancer Center delivers more than just treatment. They deliver hope, compassion and miracles.

"It's a miracle. It really is," Billie said. "That's why I thought other people should know that there is healing."

Today, OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center officially broke ground on a transformative 176,100-square-foot expansion at The University of Oklahoma Schusterman Campus in Tulsa — a major step forward in expanding access to National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer care for thousands of residents in northeast Oklahoma.

Oklahoma ranks No. 4 in cancer deaths nationwide, with 24,000 new diagnoses expected in 2025. Northeast Oklahoma faces high mortality, low clinical trial access and a projected 14.2% increase in care needs by 2034.

This expansion changes that. Because at OU Health, we are Never Done. Never Outdone.

Advanced therapies, early-phase trials and comprehensive support will be available locally — expanding access to treatment for complex cancers often resistant to traditional therapies.

As Oklahoma’s only NCI-designated cancer center, Stephenson delivers research-driven care on par with the nation’s best. This expansion propels our pursuit of Comprehensive NCI status — the highest honor — and fulfills Pillar Four of OU’s Lead On strategic plan: Lift the health of Oklahoma through the University of Oklahoma’s academic health system.

Opening in 2028:
• 70 exam rooms
• 45 infusion spaces
• Three linear accelerators
• Full imaging: MRI, PET-CT and more
• Dedicated clinical trial space
• Room to grow

Fueled by a public-private partnership led by Charlie and Peggy Stephenson and the Stephenson Family Foundation, with support from the Oklahoma Legislature and community champions — including Hillcrest Healthcare System, OU Health’s hospital partner in Tulsa.

Our patients have access to some of the most advanced cancer treatments available, including proton therapy. As Oklahoma’s only National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center, we offer precision radiation options that minimize damage to healthy tissue while effectively targeting tumors. This is especially important for cancers located near vital organs.

Proton therapy is a powerful option for prostate cancer patients, with flexible treatment plans ranging from 5 to 39 sessions. The five-session approach is gaining popularity due to its convenience, effectiveness and broad insurance approval.

“At Stephenson, we are proud to have access to several advanced technologies, including proton therapy, and are able to help each patient make the choice that is best for them,” prostate radiation oncologist Dr. Tyler Gunter shared.

Our comprehensive radiation program includes proton therapy, photon therapy, brachytherapy, and Gamma Knife, all under one roof. Patients benefit from a collaborative team of nationally recognized physicians, physicists, and therapists, as well as access to clinical trials and nationally accredited programs.
