Following January’s board meeting, William Newton Hospital trustees and administrators honored Steve McSpadden for his years of service as a trustee. William Newton Hospital CEO Brian Barta said, “William Newton Hospital extends its sincere gratitude to Steve, whose dedication and leadership have been invaluable assets to the hospital for the past 22 years.” McSpadden continued the legacy of his father G.D. McSpadden, who retired from serving 25 years as a William Newton Hospital trustee at the age of 75. Appointed in 2002 to fill an unexpired term, McSpadden demonstrated a deep understanding of the healthcare needs of the community.
