Doc Hale Nutrition is named after our President’s Grandfather, James Washington Hale.
James Hale was a medical pharmacist who owned and operated a country drug store in the oil-boom town of Devol, Oklahoma just north of Burkburnett during the 1910s. The town had a population of about 4,000 residents during the peak of the oil boom, however, after the boom the population dropped as quickly as it had risen. In this rural community, his advice was welcomed and trusted such that he affectionately became known as “Doc” Hale.
Life focused on basics in those difficult days in Oklahoma. As did all in the community, he faced strong challenges during the depression, dust bowl, and oil boom-bust days. However, he was committed to caring for the medical needs of the working man. Ever cheerful and active, Doc Hale consistently maintained his role in life where as others might have left for more rewarding opportunities.
At Doc Hale Nutrition, we are proud to take the name of such a reliable and pioneering person. Our owners and employees are committed to utilizing their knowledge in nutrition, food science and culinary arts to bring you nutritional supplements that will improve your quality of life.
Look to us for quality products and caring service as we strive to serve our community with the same commitment and dedication as did the original Doc Hale.
