Our History

Newman Memorial Hospital
Newman Memorial Hospital was founded in 1920 by pioneer physician O.C. Newman, M.D. Dr. Newman, his wife, and three sons (all of whom later became physicians) moved to Shattuck in October of 1907. That year, Dr. Newman, M.D., along with other Shattuck businessmen, established the Northwestern Sanatorium, which closed after one year due to lack of community support. He continued treating the community of Shattuck by traveling from home to home on horseback or with his span of driving horses and buggy. As the years passed, he continued to take post-graduate work in some of the leading medical and surgical colleges of the country. Advances in medicine, specifically surgery, helped to convince the community that they were ready for the next step.

In 1920 Dr. Newman established the original Shattuck hospital and his legacy continues today at Newman Memorial Hospital. For almost a century, the administration, physicians, nurses and staff of the hospital have dedicated themselves to serving the communities of Northwest Oklahoma, Southern Kansas and the Texas Panhandle with compassionate, high-quality, affordable health care. Our mission is to provide the highest quality patient care experience with focused attention to patient safety, value and an uncompromised commitment to clinical excellence for those we serve.
