Our Story
In 1913, Daniel Morton, MD came to the St. Joseph, Buchanan Co, MO area. As a physician, he was concerned about the medical treatment of the poor.

Additionally, local doctors, hospitals, and nurses would volunteer their time at the clinic to administer healthcare to the patients of the clinic. The Social Welfare Board continues Dr. Morton's vision and passion to provide high-quality healthcare to the residents of the City of St. Joseph and Buchanan County, MO.
