Ray Cordry, DO: A Lifelong Commitment to Mental Health in Oklahoma
Celebrating Nearly 50 Years of Service in Medicine and Mental Health Care
Dr. Ray Cordry, a dedicated physician and mental health advocate, has devoted nearly five decades to improving lives across Oklahoma. Currently serving as the Outpatient Director of Red Rock Behavioral Health Services in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, he oversees a team dedicated to providing mental health care to approximately 5,000 patients.
Originally from Hennessey, he graduated from Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma, in 1969, and pursued his lifelong dream of becoming a physician by earning his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in 1975. His extensive experience includes roles as a director of various behavioral health organizations, teaching psychiatry, and serving as an Associate Professor at the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Oklahoma State University.
A pioneer in telehealth, Dr. Cordry became the first psychiatrist in Oklahoma to offer virtual appointments, ensuring that patients could receive care from the comfort of their homes. His passion for improving mental health awareness and treatment has led to significant advancements in the field, culminating in a legacy of compassionate care and advocacy.
Moreover, his commitment to accessible mental health care is evident in his efforts to establish professional offices in multiple rural locations, including Alva, Kingfisher, and Ardmore. He recognized the challenges Oklahomans face in accessing mental health services, particularly in underserved areas, and took action to bridge these gaps. Despite notable advancements in psychiatric medications, he emphasizes that the availability of mental health resources across the state remains inadequate, particularly in rural communities along the I-40 to I-35 corridor.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Dr. Cordry enjoys quality time with his wife, five children, and four grandchildren. He also takes great pride in his yard work, cherishing the tranquility it brings. As he contemplates retirement in the coming years, he reflects on his extensive career, filled with moments of healing and hope for countless individuals.
