Chief COVID-19 Officer Dr. Dale Bratzler said OU Health is vaccinating less than half its estimated patient capacity due to limited vaccine doses provided by the federal government.
NORMAN A topping out ceremony was recently held for The Well, a 14,000-square-foot community building that will be dedicated to health, wellness and education in Cleveland County.
“This ceremony was an opportunity to celebrate our progress on the construction of this community health and wellness facility,” Cleveland County Commissioner Darry Stacy said.
A partnership between Cleveland County and the Cleveland County Health Department, the new facility will be a hub for activities and services, including online and in-person fitness classes, cooking demonstrations from the Moore-Norman Technology Center, and health services from the Norman Regional Health clinic.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health reported nearly 4,000 new COVID-19 cases statewide Monday — including 106 in Norman — after a weekend of soaring new case numbers.

Multiple local agencies are collaborating to schedule a COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Norman this week.
Classen Urgent Care, the City of Norman, Norman Regional EMS and the Cleveland County Health Department are hosting a free vaccine POD from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday at the 12th Avenue Recreation Center. The clinic will vaccinate 120 local seniors ages 65 and up.
Registration for the POD opened Thursday evening, and the spots were filled within 20 minutes, Norman Recreation Superintendent Jason Olsen said. However, the hope is that Wednesdayâs POD will be the first of many local opportunities for the city to vaccinate residents.
