Saint Francis Health System has announced the appointment of Tulsa City Mayor G.T. Bynum as Vice President of Community and Government Affairs once his term ends in 2024. Bynum expressed his admiration for the health system, its team, mission, and culture of excellence that has been cultivated over the past 64 years.

During his tenure as mayor, Bynum led important initiatives such as the Vision Renewal Capital Campaign and Improve Our Tulsa, which made significant investments in the city’s infrastructure. He also guided the city through challenges such as the Father’s Day storm and the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to becoming mayor, Bynum served on the Tulsa City Council for eight years, where he made history as the youngest elected City Council chair.
