William Newton Hospital and Health Professionals of Winfield have received reports of fraudulent phone calls impacting local community members and patients.

What is Happening?

Scammers are utilizing "phone spoofing" technology to deliberately falsify the information transmitted to your Caller ID display. These fraudulent calls appear as "William Newton Hospital" or "Health Professionals of Winfield." Callers may ask for financial details, personal health information, or immediate payment.

What You Should Do

• Request Verification: Ask the caller for their full name and direct extension.
• Do Not Disclose Personal Data: Never provide credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or personal identifying information on an unsolicited inbound call.

• Hang Up and Call Us Directly: If you are unsure whether a call regarding a bill or appointment is legitimate, hang up immediately and contact our billing team directly at our verified numbers:

  • William Newton Hospital Billing Office: 620-222-6248
  • Health Professionals of Winfield (Clinic Billing Office): 620-222-6261

Note: William Newton Hospital and Health Professionals of Winfield have separate billing offices. Our representatives will always verify your account identity securely and will never pressure you into immediate payment on an unverified line.

If you suspect you have fallen victim to a scam, please report the incident to local law enforcement or the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) consumer complaint portal.
