William K. Warren, Sr., founder of The William K. Warren Foundation and the Saint Francis Health System, along with his wife Natalie Overall Warren, dreamed of giving a gift to the city of Tulsa that would serve its citizens for years to come. That dream became reality when Saint Francis Hospital opened its doors in 1960.
William K. Warren, Jr. served as Chairman of The William K. Warren Foundation for many years after his father’s retirement and remains Chairman Emeritus. Mr. Warren envisioned a place where those suffering from mental illness would be treated the same as patients having any other illness. That vision became Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital which opened in 1989
