Message from the CEO

Thank you for choosing Newman Memorial Hospital. For more than 104 years, our dedicated team of healthcare professionals has proudly served the communities of Northwest Oklahoma, Northeast Texas, and Southern Kansas.
Our model of care is patient-centered, focused on treating the whole person with compassion and respect for medical, nursing, and cultural needs. This commitment began with our founder, Dr. O.C. Newman, who placed the voice of the patient at the forefront of care. His devotion to rural health continues to guide us today.
At Newman, we are more than a hospital - we are a family. Our culture is rooted in community, faith, and a deep responsibility to those we serve. Guided by accomplished physicians and providers, we strive to create an environment where patients receive care that not only meets but exceeds expectations, supported by the latest evidence-based practices.
Our history is rich with milestones. Newman earned the nickname “Little Mayo of the West” for our innovation and excellence. We were among the first three hospitals in Oklahoma accredited to perform cardiothoracic surgery, and just last year, we became one of only three hospitals in the nation to achieve The Joint Commission’s RHC accreditation through Newman Healthcare Associates.
Each day, I pass by Dr. Newman’s mural and reflect on the privilege of leading such a renowned and historic rural hospital. I am humbled by the trust our community places in us and honored to continue building on this legacy.
Thank you for allowing Newman Memorial Hospital to be your trusted care provider.
Kind regards,
Tom Vasko, CEO
