Research Team

Julia Myers, RN, BSN, CCRC
Clinical Research Coordinator

“Research pushes me to overcome challenges and controversies while making a difference and providing hope in the lives of those around me, through alternate therapies available only through clinical research.”

Linda Cordell
Director, Business Operations

“I have been with OHHRF since 2001. It has been very rewarding yet challenging! I have worked in the research arena since 1989, but working in cardiovascular research has been the most interesting, and it seems like I learn something new every day! I am looking forward to the continued growth of OHHRF!”

Stacie Hanes R.N, CCRC
Senior Research Coordinator and Program Manager, Valve Clinic

“I enjoy working in research for many reasons. I love the variety of learning opportunities, including working with new technology with our physicians and staff at OHH. I love the ability to provide this technology/treatment to patients who have few other options and see their improved quality of life after treatment.”

Tawnaya Wright, CCRC
Research Associate

“Working in research has offered the opportunity to help provide patients with hope where there otherwise may be despair, and to be a part of not only prolonging life, but improving the quality of life as well... and I’m a pushover for a happy ending.”

Kartik Munshi, MPH, CCRC
Quality, Compliance & Assurance Coordinator

“One of the things that I like best about my position is that it gives me opportunity to work with people, and it also provides me with the opportunity to give back to society. I feel proud that I am contributing
in the development of medicine and science in some way through OHH Research.”

Cindy Therese

“OHH Research Foundation has given me the opportunity over the years to share in its mission to provide service through research that positively impacts patient lives – a very rewarding profession!”

Siraj Qazi, MPH
Clinical Research Coordinator

"I love doing what we do. Introducing new treatments and helping people, along with OHHRF team, is not only exciting but something to be proud of as well.  Clinical research gives hope to patients that new drugs or devices will eventually be beneficial for them or their generations.  We take care of hearts with our heart and soul and that’s what makes us different and one of the top research sites in Oklahoma and in the USA for quality cardiovascular research."

Tiffany Clark, CCRC
Clinical Research Coordinator

"When it comes to our health, all of us want safe, effective and affordable treatment options. Conducting clinical trials investigating innovative devices and drug therapies is where I choose to be because everyday we push healthcare further down new paths, improving patient’s quality of life and constantly learn new things."

Krissy Colbath
Development Coordinator

“The research done at OHHRF has a real impact on the lives of those suffering with cardiovascular disease. It gives a grandfather time to teach his grandson how to fish. It gives a wife more time with her husband. It gives children more time with their parents. I am grateful to be part of an organization that is always searching for a way to give such a precious gift as time.”

Michele Mako
Office Supervisor, The Medical Clinic for the Uninsured

"I am so lucky and appreciative to be able to help patients who need to see a cardiologist, nephrologist, pulmonologist, or gastroenterologist. Seeing the gratefulness on our patient's faces is the best part of my day. The doctors, nurses, medical assistants and volunteers make The Medical Clinic for the Uninsured one of a kind."
