Who We Are
The History of Newsome Park
Newsome Park Strategies is a purpose-driven health innovation and strategy firm inspired by the legacy and lessons of a powerful American community. We are committed to advancing community-based solutions that address systemic health disparities, promote preventative heart health, support responsible, non-narcotic pain management, and bring to market life-saving technologies and practices that raise the standard of care, particularly in primary care and underserved communities.
Our name and mission are rooted in the story of Newsome Park, a historically significant neighborhood in Newport News, Virginia. Originally established during the Great Depression as segregated affordable housing for African Americans, Newsome Park became a vital and resilient community in the face of adversity. During World War II, it welcomed Black migrants from across the country—many of whom worked at the nearby shipyards or with NASA—creating a diverse and thriving enclave of families, workers, and dreamers.
In an era of racial segregation and limited opportunity, the residents of Newsome Park built a tight-knit, self-reliant, and aspirational community, united by shared struggle and unwavering determination. That spirit continues to guide our work today.
Newsome Park Strategies exists to honor that legacy by equipping providers and patients with the tools, technologies, and insights necessary to fight the most urgent health crises of our time. From groundbreaking cardiovascular screening solutions to scalable, non-opioid pain relief strategies, we champion innovation that saves lives, reduces costs, and advances health equity for all.
This isn’t just strategy. It’s a movement born from a history of perseverance, focused on creating a healthier future, one community at a time.
Named after J. Thomas Newsome, a pioneering black attorney and civic leader, the community reflects resilience and unity. Newsome Park Strategies, our company, draws inspiration from this legacy. Committed to addressing Minority and Rural Health disparities, we aim to bring impactful solutions to community health, honoring the strength that emerges when a community unites to overcome challenges.
