J. William Conger Takes the
Helm as OBA President
Bill was born March 6, 1945, in Shreveport, La., five minutes before his twin sister, Betty. He was raised in Shreveport and was horrified when his father announced the family was moving to Bartlesville, Okla., at the end of his sophomore year. Turns out, it was meant to be. Bill met and started dating Sherry Martin during his junior year at his new high school, Bartlesville College High School. |

Recent Change in the Law Alters Language of Written Consent to Disclose Medical Information
On Nov. 1, 2007, changes to Oklahoma Statute Tit. 63 §1-502.2, the Oklahoma statute pertaining to confidential health information and written consent for its disclosure, went into effect.
