At age 61, Ralph T. Warburton, M.D., could have retired. Instead, he considers the future of health care in Stark County and directs his energies into creating a facility that provides high quality, economical medical care.

With the help of his wife, Esther, they begin to formulate a plan for a medical clinic.

It was the Mayo brothers, founders of the Mayo Clinic, who fueled Dr. Warburton's vision over thirty years ago with the quote, "whatever is gained through the advancement of medicine should be returned to our fellow man."
