Foundation
Our Community Commitment
Newman Regional Health is committed to providing high quality healthcare to the people of Lyon County and the surrounding Emporia, Kansas communities. For nearly 90 years, Newman Regional Health has strived to meet the needs of a growing community and has established a tradition of excellence in health care for east central Kansas. Even though Newman Regional Health is a county hospital, it does not receive county tax funds. All excess revenues are invested in the community’s health by purchasing new equipment, upgrading facilities, providing charity care and developing new programs and services.
The Foundation
Incorporated in 1957 as the Newman Memorial Hospital Endowment Association, Newman Regional Health Foundation continues to help the hospital achieve its mission. The Foundation secures, manages and disburses funds to benefit Newman Regional Health and is committed to helping to sustain Newman Regional Health as a community hospital. The Foundation has its own Board of Directors made up of community citizens who volunteer their time and talents to the Foundation.
