Bosque County area. Goodall-Witcher Hospital provides modern facilities with 40 beds. Three nursing homes add 500 beds to the overall health care system. Eleven doctors and three dentists call Clifton home. GOODALL-WITCHER HEALTHCARE FOUNDATIONGoodall-Witcher Healthcare Foundation is the results of a dream begun by two Bosque County physicians in the late 1930s. That dream, which belonged to Drs. Van Goodall and Seth Witcher and their wives, became a reality in 1939 with the formation of a medical clinic and 10-bed hospital. Through the years the hospital was continually updated to keep abreast of the latest medical technology, while more doctors and staff members were added in order to provide expanded services.
The Foundation and all of its entities are Medicare approved. A dedicated, well-trained staff of nurses serve the needs of patients.
