History
quotThey saw the best equipped hospital in the West They saw a beautiful building architecturally and they saw an interior decorated with taste altogether a thing of beauty that shall be a joy foreverquot Emporia Gazette March 6 1922 on the open house

Since 1922 Newman Regional Health has been a vital part of healthcare for a seven county area surrounding Emporia Kansas The Emporia Gazette used the Winston Churchill quote quotWe live not by what we have but by what we givequot on March 5 1922 to describe George Newmans generous contribution The original 81 bed hospital was built largely as the result of a 50000 bequest left by Mr George Newman a local businessman Additional funds were raised with a twoyear tax levy and the hospital opened on March 6th 1922 The hospital is named in honor of both Mr Newman and the county Since the hospital has opened there has been a nursing school currently the Emporia State University Newman Division of Nursing located on the east side of the hospital campus
