William Newton Hospital

William Newton Hospital WNH is classified as a Critical Access, not-for-profit community hospital serving south-central Kans Our emergency department is staffed with physicians 24/7.

William Newton Hospital (WNH) is a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital located in Winfield, KS with a proud heritage of excellence in patient care. Although WNH provides the latest in technology to assist physicians in diagnosis and treatment, our strength also lies in the personalized, compassionate patient care not often found in a large medical center. We strive to provide big-city medicine, with small-town service. In addition to acute care, the hospital provides same-day and orthopedic surgery, intensive care, labor and delivery, and skilled swing beds. WNH has on-site respiratory therapy services and a clinical laboratory. Outpatient services include cardiac rehabilitation, wound care, diagnostic imaging, infusion therapy, laboratory, rehabilitation services, and many other diagnostic and therapeutic services. The hospital provides primary care through six rural health clinics in Cedar Vale, Dexter, Moline, Sedan, and Winfield, and an occupational health program to assist local business and industry. Cancer treatment and renal dialysis are also located on campus. Specialty clinics include cardiology, orthopedics, podiatry, interventional radiology, oncology, nephrology, neurosurgery, ENT, pediatrics, pulmonology, and urology. The non-profit community general hospital is locally managed and financially self-sufficient, relying entirely on patient revenue and philanthropic support. It does not receive tax dollars or outside health system assistance. The hospital is governed by a five-member Board of Trustees appointed by the Winfield City Commission. Meeting the healthcare needs of the citizens in the surrounding area has always been, and always will be, our number one priority.

Downtown Doc Walks made it back to the downtown area this afternoon for a beautiful fall walk, featuring Good Shepherd Hospice and Marquee Performing Arts Center.

Good Shepherd clinical liaison Martha Reeves, LPN, highlighted the comprehensive support services offered by hospice providers, including on-call nursing, medical supplies, and emotional and bereavement care. Martha also shared that hospice services can potentially increase a patient's life expectancy by 20โ€“30 days, and many patients indicate that they wish they had started earlier.

Following the health talk, the group took a nice stroll down the street to Marquee Performing Arts Center (Winfield's Historic Fox Theatre). MPAC will celebrate its 75th anniversary this month and is actively campaigning to fund a full restoration.

Steve from MPAC helped draw this month's lucky winner of $20 in Chamber Checks, provided by the Winfield Area Chamber of Commerce, and shared about upcoming events, including 2nd Thursday lunches and the Wonderland of Trees.

Mark your calendars and plan to join us at our next walk on December 4 at 4pm, featuring Dr. Thomas Lyman and sponsored by Timber Creek Floral + Gifts.

Medicare Advantage plans, also called Part C, often offer supplemental benefits like gym memberships and vision care to attract beneficiaries. However, don't let these features overshadow the potential trade-off with narrow networks and strict prior authorization requirements.

Meet Ken, a grateful patient who found hope and healing at WNH. After a stroke, Ken began his recovery journey with physical, occupational, and speech therapy at our hospital. "Everyone genuinely wanted to help," Ken shared. "They challenged and encouraged me."

He credits the WNH team for their caring and compassionate support, singling out therapists Sarah, Heather, Juliette, and Debbra, and office manager Dena. His experience was so positive that when he began having trouble driving, he knew WNH was the right place to help with his vision challenges. With the help of Cody, Ken is tackling the difficult but rewarding work of vision therapy.

"It's hard. It's tiring. I go home needing a nap most of the time," Ken admits, "but I'm getting better. Everything I was working toward is getting better." Thanks to his dedication and the expert care at WNH, Ken is walking and driving better, a true testament to the progress he's making.

"I want people to know how effective it isโ€”everything I've done here is good," he says. Ken's story is a powerful reminder that progress is the key to recovery.

If you're struggling with a physical challenge, don't wait. Talk to your doctor about how rehabilitation services can help you. We're proud to be a hospital that is "moving forward, doing things you don't see other places."
