Wilt served eleven years as the Executive Director for the Bluestem Medical Foundation at Jane Phillips Medical Center. During that time, he also supervised public relations, marketing, and government affairs for the hospital. Prior to his tenure at Jane Phillips Medical Center, Wilt served ten years as a state representative in the Oklahoma Legislature after being elected in 1996.

 

In the last five years, the Foundation has grown six-fold closing out the 2017 fiscal year with nearly $12 million in assets and $1.4 million in local impact. As a collection of endowed funds, the Foundation exists to ensure the charitable organizations that are so important to the success of this community continue to flourish for years to come.
