Team
Paul & Sharon Conrady, Co-Founder
Paul and Sharon sold their 32 year old security company in 2012 and started volunteering with Paul’s brother, Greg, at the Patriot Clinic. They assisted Bill Duncan as he provided hyperbaric oxygen therapy, (HBOT), to any Veteran with PTSD/TBI issues. Bill provided an open door giving Veterans hope and a better quality of life using oxygen and pressure in their recovery. This provided Greg, Sharon, and Paul an experience few will ever have, a free clinic with no barriers for people with TBI, PTSD, non-healing wounds, stroke recovery, autism, orthopedic recovery, you name it! Bill understood what HBOT provides the body during recovery and he shared his knowledge with anyone who wanted to learn more.
In 2018 “the Conrady’s” opened Oklahoma Oasis Hyperbarics and Paul served as secretary of the International Hyberbaric Medical Foundation. In 2019 OK Oasis HBOT was re-branded as Oklahoma Hyperbarics (OKHBOT) dropping the spa connotation. In 2020 they began utilizing Hyperbaric Air Therapy, (HBAT), clients outcomes remained unchanged. Hyperbaric Fitness OK was launched in 2021 to scale this incredible therapy using a 12 person multiplace chamber. They are finding the benefit of air under pressure and the scalability of simply replicating a SCUBA diving experience will provide a path for an affordable therapy for anyone with medical issues, and a way to serve those who stood in the gap for us.
