The Tulsa facility was the second CTCA hospital to open, doing so in May of 1990. At that time it was located in the Cityplex Towers, part of the larger City of Faith hospital. Fifteen years later, at the end of April 2005, CTCA opened a new state-of-the-art Southwestern Regional Medical Center in Tulsa to replace the previous one, and several years later the Tulsa facility remains the city's only major medical center devoted entirely to the treatment of cancer.
