Newton has nearly 35 years of healthcare experience—including almost 20 years in several of the system’s key geographies. He most recently led two North Texas regions, including six hospitals, and served as president of Baylor University Medical Center, one of the health system’s flagship academic medical centers. Since joining Baylor Scott & White in 2004, he has also served as president of Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Grapevine and Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth.
“Steve is known as a trusted and progressive leader with an unrivaled knowledge of our markets,” said Baylor Scott & White CEO Pete McCanna. “His understanding of competitive opportunities across the state will guide us as we expand access to high-quality care for the millions of Texans we serve.”
Over the course of his tenure, Steve has led the development and implementation of high-performing regional growth plans, guiding his teams to improve patient experience and clinical outcomes.
While a search is conducted to fill Newton’s role at Baylor University Medical Center, Kyle Armstrong, the hospital’s chief operating officer, will serve as interim president.
