The City of Newman is strategically located within 21 miles of three major medical facilities.<br />

This is important as their services may be required in the event of a natural hazard such as a<br />

flood. It is also recognized that over half of the residents aged 65 or over have a disability, which<br />

adds to the critical nature of service needs in the area. The City of Newman has a 71 bed nursing<br />

facility located at the north end of the city. In the past it has experienced flooding and has<br />

emergency plans in place for such an event.<br />

Medical centers and clinics near Newman:<br />
