OKLAHOMA CITY – Gov. Mary Fallin recently appointed Crowe & Dunlevy director Cori Loomis to the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. Loomis is a member of the firm's Healthcare Practice Group. Her primary focus is on the representation of healthcare providers with transactional, compliance, reimbursement, legislative and regulatory compliance issues.

“The Oklahoma Board of Nursing safeguards the public health and welfare of the residents of Oklahoma by ensuring that any person who practices or offers to practice nursing in this state is competent to do so,” Gov. Fallin said. “Cori Loomis will bring a wealth of healthcare knowledge and experience to this board, and I am grateful for her public service.”

In 2010, Loomis was listed in “The Best Lawyers in America” for Administrative/Regulatory Law and ranked "up and coming" by Chambers U.S.A. in Corporate/Commercial: Healthcare. She also received the Leadership in the Law award from the Journal Record in 2010.

Loomis is active in several professional organizations, including the American Health Lawyers Association and the Oklahoma Bar Association, where she has been elected to two officer positions for the Health Law Section.

The Oklahoma Board of Nursing is made up of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and public members. Loomis will represent one of two public member positions which require appointees to be an eligible voter of this state, knowledgeable in consumer health concerns and can neither be or ever have been associated with the provision of healthcare or be enrolled in any health-related educational program.

The appointment to the Oklahoma Board of Nursing is a five-year term, with Loomis representing Cimarron, Texas, Beaver, Harper, Woods, Alfalfa, Grant, Kay, Ellis, Woodward, Major, Garfield, Noble, Dewey, Blaine, Kingfisher and Logan Counties.
