Description
Centrally located within the city of Emporia, Newman Regional Health is a 178 bed governmental entity operated on a not-for-profit basis and is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
Newman Regional Health: Although we are a county hospital, we receive no financial support from Lyon County. The hospital is supported by donations and payment for services.
Nearly 500 employees, 300 volunteers, 40 physicians, and many other professionals, make up the patient care team at Newman Regional Health. The hospital provides a wide range of medical and surgical services as well as women’s services, critical care, level II nursery, 24 hour emergency services, outpatient services, chemical dependency treatment programs, home health care, and hospice services. Located within the hospital, an 18 bed Transitional Care Center provides ongoing care after dismissal for those needing additional care during recovery. Two of the newest services include the sleep disorder lab and bone densitometry screening. Newman Regional Health is a teaching hospital and is home to the ESU Newman Division of Nursing.
Quorum Health Resources, Inc. manages the administrative functions of the hospital and is one of the largest hospital management firms in the country. Newman Regional Health remains a local hospital-- owned by the people of Lyon County and governed by a Board of Trustees made up of community leaders.
The City of Emporia lies 108 miles southwest of Kansas City, 58 miles southwest of Topeka, and 87 miles northeast of Wichita on the eastern edge of the Flint Hills area of Kansas. Emporia has a population of 25,512, based on the 1990 census. There are 9.7797 square miles of land in the City's corporate boundary, while the "planning and protected" area covers approximately 63 square miles. The City of Emporia offers many services to the people of the community. City operations range from Administration to the Emporia Zoo, with services filling the remainder of the spectrum.
The Emporia Gazette used the Winston Churchill quote, "We live not by what we have, but by what we give," on March 5, 1922 to describe George Newman’s generous contribution. The original 81-bed hospital was built largely as the result of a fifty thousand dollar bequest left by Mr. George Newman, a local businessman. Additional funds were raised with a two-year tax levy, and the hospital opened on March 6th, 1922. The hospital was named in honor of both Mr. Newman and the county.
Planning for better facilities included the addition of the East wing, built in 1951, the West wing in 1963 and the South wing in 1980. A 5.9 million dollar renovation of the first floor was completed in the spring of 1996, increasing convenience and accessibility for outpatients by relocating nearly all outpatient services to the same area of the hospital. The Newman Medical Plaza, a 70,000 square foot physician’s office building, was built west of the hospital in 1996 to better attract and retain needed physicians to our community, and to provide a convenient location for patients to receive care.
Since 1922, Newman Regional Health has been a vital part of healthcare for a seven county area. Working with other healthcare providers, the hospital will continue to be a leader in improving the health of our community into the next century.

Lyon County is in the fourth tier of counties from Missouri, being in the line of the Great Neosho Valley and nearly at the headwaters of that river. The Osage River has its rise in Osage, Wabaunsee and Lyon counties, and its branches watering the northeastern sections of the latter district. The Cottonwood River, a branch of the Neosho, flows east through its southern central portion. Elm Creek and One Hundred and Forty-second Creek, tributaries of the Osage, and the north and south branches of the Verdigris River, furnish an abundant water supply to the northeastern and southwestern portions of the county. There is also a good supply of springs, water being obtained for drinking purposes at a depth of from twenty to forty feet. Lyon County is situated in the exact center of the State, north and south, and is almost parallel with the center of population, east and west, being a short distance to the east thereof. It has become, to a great extent, what its early settlers meant it to be, a railroad center and an emporium of trade for Central Kansas.
