    8-22-26: VIPCARE – Specializing in primary care for seniors

    This week on the Rise & Thrive OSJ Radio Show, we’re joined by Dr. Bryan Butel, a board-certified internal medicine physician with VIPCare in Midwest City. Dr. Butel discusses VIPCare’s unique approach to caring for adults 65+. Instead of the typical 5- to 15-minute visits common at many hospitals and doctors’ offices, VIPCare’s policy is to spend more time with patients. I went to see Dr. Butel in Midwest City at 1636 Midtown Place in Midwest City. (They have other locations including 1720 NE 23rd, with two more locations opening in Yukon and Norman.) At my very first visit, Dr. Butel spent one hour with me —how refreshing!. I was able to discuss each issue, and Dr. Butel asked me questions. In other words, he actually got to know me and addressed my health issues accordingly. Dr. Butel takes a holistic, preventive approach along with modern medicine. In other words, he gives you choices and goes over each one in detail. I can’t say enough good things about VIPCare and Dr. Butel. VIPcare will be our front cover feature story in the next Oklahoma Senior Journal issue on stands at the end of August, running through March 2027. You can learn so much more in their five-page informational article. Dr. Bryan Butel is a board-certified internal medicine physician who earned his undergraduate degree from Luther College and his medical degree from Des Moines University Osteopathic College of Medicine. He completed his residency at Northeastern Health System (Oklahoma State University) in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Dr. Butel emphasizes preventive care, healthy lifestyle choices, and treating the whole person – not just symptoms. He values building lasting relationships and ensuring patients feel informed and comfortable with their care.

    8-1-26: HERITAGE HOME SOLUTIONS, Alan Norton

    What Does “Aging in Place” actually mean — and when does it stop being realistic? Aging in place simply means staying in your own home as you get older, with the right support — it’s not an all-or-nothing choice. But sometimes the home itself starts working against you: stairs become a fall risk, upkeep piles up, or help just isn’t nearby. The goal isn’t to talk anyone out of their home — it’s to help families notice honestly when the home has stopped fitting the life. Alan Norton (pictured left) founded Heritage Home Solutions to help seniors across the OKC metro — Edmond, Yukon, Norman, and Midwest City. At the Oklahoma Senior Journal, we vet everyone that airs on the OSJ radio show, appears in the Oklahoma Senior Journal, and on OSJ digital media. You can depend on who we refer to the 50+, their adult children, family, and professional caregivers. One question Alan answers on this week’s OSJ Radio Hour: what are the warning signs that a home isn’t a good fit for someone anymore? Common signs include struggling with stairs, a yard or repairs, or isolation. None of this reflects poorly on the person — homes are built for a season of life, and needs simply shift over time. Naming these signs early gives families options instead of a crisis decision later. Alan Norton, is a fourth-generation Oklahoman born and raised in Oklahoma City. He founded Heritage Home Solutions to help seniors across the OKC metro — Edmond, Yukon, Norman, and Midwest City — through one of life’s biggest transitions. Whether it’s a direct, hassle-free home sale or practical updates for aging in place, Heritage Home Solutions offers straightforward help from someone who knows this community firsthand.
