Before A Toast

An evening of distinction

On November 30, 2023 we celebrated An Evening of Distinction, a precursor to A Toast. The evening featured the announcement of the 2023 Outstanding Physician and acknowledged the 2023 Osteopathic Founders Foundation student scholarship recipients.

The 2023 Outstanding Physician is L. Janelle Whitt, DO. Scroll down to view the video of the announcement below.

WINTERSET

After decades of building and sustaining osteopathic community, Winterset came to its finale on February 22, 2020. Thanks to the incredible dedication of the volunteers who served as chairmen, the vision of an amazing event team, and, most importantly, the extraordinary generosity of our osteopathic physicians and their community partners, Winterset provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to the northeast Oklahoma community over thirty-three years. From its relatively humble beginning in 1987, Winterset grew to be one of the premiere events of the osteopathic profession. Times change, but for many of us, the memories of Winterset evenings are indelible.

We hope that you will enjoy looking back on those special evenings and reflecting on the friendships that were formed and nurtured. Winterset is gone but Winterset won’t be forgotten.
