After serving as a medic in the U.S. Army, Infantry (Sgt.) from 1944-1946, Dick returned to Oklahoma to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. While studying at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, he met Joyce Yvonne Creamer and they were married July 7, 1951 at the First Christian Church in Durant. They celebrated 60 years of marriage together.
Dick received his MD from the University of Oklahoma in 1953 where he was a charter member of the AOA Honor Medical Society. He graduated third in a class of eighty and went on to finish his internship at Denver General Hospital in 1954 and a surgical residency at Oklahoma City Veterans Administration Hospital in 1955. Dick then joined the Lowrey-Cunningham Medical Clinic in Poteau and in 1976 completed construction on the Leflore County Medical Center with associates Charles Cook, Robert Hampton, Greg Williams and Robert Kiess.
Dick was known to be a skilled and caring physician who gave back to his State and Community. Notably, he was Past President of the OK State Board of Medical Examiners (signing his son Richard Bruce Winters, MD medical license) and Past President of the Leflore-Haskell Counties Medical Association. Dick was a Delegate and Trustee of the OK State Medical Association (1975-1989) and Trustee of the OU School of Medicine Alumni Association (1986-1989), mentoring over 200 medical students, five of whom returned to practice with him. Dick was the Oklahoma Academy Family Physician of the Year in 1989 and was Top 5 nationally.
Dick was a faithful Member and Elder of the First Christian Church in Poteau. He opened the Christian Free Clinic in 1988 and was Medical Director, providing medical care for over 20 years. Dick was the first physician in Oklahoma to have a volunteer medical license. The clinic became a central volunteer point for churches and organizations in Poteau, providing health care for thousands who couldn’t afford it. Dick also served Poteau as Past President of the Christian Business Men’s Committee (member 40 years), Past President of the Eastern Oklahoma Historical Society, Past President of the Kiwanis Club and as a member of the Poteau Chamber of Commerce, Masonic Lodge, Oklahoma Anthropological Society and Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association.
