UnityPoint Health is growing, and we’re looking to secure another physician for our family medicine practice that will be moving to our larger, remodeled clinic on Nicholas Drive in Marshalltown (see back cover).

In fact, we’re looking for the community’s help and offering a reward. Anyone who refers a qualified family medicine physician (who is then hired to practice at UnityPoint Health – Marshalltown) will receive $5,000.* We realize word of mouth is the best form of advertising, and we know our community has family members, friends and other connections to talented physicians who would love to come work here. This referral bonus is just one of the many efforts already underway to bring you and your family the best care possible.

To make a referral, simply compete the form at unitypoint.org/marshalltown/refer-a-physician or contact recruiter Tina Dalton at (515) 782-0175 or tina.dalton@unitypoint.org.

*The Recruitment Department determines eligibility of the potential physician and will notify the referring individual. If the referral is approved and the physician candidate is hired, the department forwards the documents to UnityPoint Health – Marshalltown Human Resources to process payment. Board members and executives of UnityPoint Health entities are excluded. If multiple community members submit the same name of a hired physician, the referral bonus will be divided equally among the referrers. Community members who receive a referral bonus will expect a 1099 form for their income taxes.

A Note from Shari Friends, The future of UnityPoint Health in Marshalltown is bright, and we have many reasons to be looking forward. After all, we’re soon moving to a new hospital at the intersection of Highways 30 and 14.

First, however, I’m inclined to look back. That’s because we’re leaving behind a campus and facility that’s more than served its purpose. As I’ve told our team members, the old girl has done her job.

This existing downtown hospital is 107 years old. Think about that – it’s been here for more than a century. Whether for the sick or the healthy, she’s provided help, healing and hope. And then, as if to boast, she got us through an EF-3 tornado and derecho.

Now, it’s time for something new. Health care is rapidly changing, and the future needs to get here now.

That’s what is so exciting about the new hospital we’re completing on our South Campus. It’s being built with the future in mind. In fact, this is the model for future hospitals in Iowa’s mid-sized communities.

We’re ecstatic about the move, and we have so many people to thank – everyone who gave to our capital campaign, everyone who has worked for us, and everyone who trusted us for care. We’ve truly done this together.

As of now, we’re expecting to celebrate a grand opening in late April. By May, we should have every department up and running.

Also, I have some good news to share. As you may be aware, we’ve been trying to expand our number of family medicine providers, and we’ve been successful. So successful, it seems, that we’ve outgrown the available space within the clinic portion of the new hospital. So, later this spring, UnityPoint Health Family Medicine – Marshalltown will move into a remodeled clinic space at 303 Nicholas Drive, which is about a mile north of the new hospital off Highway 14.

Finally, if you’d like to help us finish off the new hospital, consider giving to our Foundation through the “Our Community. Our Health Care” fundraising campaign.

BUILDING SOMETHING SPECIAL

INTERIOR RENDERINGS Inpatient Room

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Exterior of the main and emergency department entrances.

“We’re going to start worrying about the health of the community, not just the individual,” said Lance Horbach, UnityPoint Health board member and past chair. “I’m so excited because this is the first hospital in Iowa that’s actually going to be designed and built to conform to that new strategy.”

“This is going to impact so many people in the community,” says Jen Arneson, the director of nursing. “Not only here right now, but this is going to serve several generations to come.”

ONE MAJOR CHALLENGE

ED Lobby

There were many aspects of this expansion that upped the level of difficulty for Graham Construction, but perhaps the most challenging aspect was the ongoing outpatient surgeries in the medical park.

“Making sure all of our construction goes smoothly, while building next to a live operating room made this a unique project,” Lang says. “The surgery center can’t be temporarily shut down, and our construction activities need to be sequenced around the surgery schedule to ensure we won’t disrupt anything.”

A PROJECT LIKE NO OTHER

Building Something Special CONSTRUCTION TEAM EXCITED ABOUT UNIQUE MARSHALLTOWN HOSPITAL PROJECT John Lang’s aunt and uncle were longtime residents in Marshalltown. As a child, he remembers visiting his cousins every summer. In fact, he learned to ride a bike at Franklin Elementary School.

These days, he’s checking off another first from his list with the new UnityPoint Health hospital expected to open in April 2022.

And it couldn’t make him happier.

“This community has gone through some tough times with the tornado and then a derecho, and that doesn’t even include the global pandemic,” says Lang, Vice President and General Manager of Graham Construction’s Eastern Iowa Division. “I’m excited for them to get an amazing hospital, with an ER, surgery, outpatient and clinic space all in one location that will serve them for years to come.”

MODEL FOR MID-SIZED HOSPITALS The hospital build is more than just an expansion of the existing medical park into a full hospital. It’s really serving as a template for new hospitals that might be erected in mid-sized communities. After all, for many years, hospitals were built large with an overabundance of inpatient rooms. Now, with health care shifting to more outpatient procedures and care, the Marshalltown project represents a hospital that’s rightsized for the community, modern and efficient.

“It’s a great model for mid-sized communities because it offers everything a large-scale hospital would,” said Lang.

“Emergency services, imaging, inpatient rooms, state-ofthe-art lab, modern surgery suites, triage rooms, kitchen, pharmacy, rehab space and more, plus there’s clinic space attached on the other end.”

It’s a strong statement coming from Graham Construction, which built its first healthcare facility in 1981.

This Marshalltown project is unique for Graham Construction for a variety of other reasons: • While the old hospital and medical park are still in operation, it’s a challenge to coordinate the moving of the equipment, supplies and other specialized items to the two-story addition • Building a new, free-standing EMS ambulance garage (including a breakroom and sleep rooms) • Adding a full-service clinic to the existing medical park

ED Nurse’s Station

“This project is extremely unique for the fact we’re essentially building a new hospital attached to a surgery center,” says Lang. “I send my thanks to everyone who’s worked so hard to make this happen, people like Mark Brown, Steve Cusher and Todd Brown (in Facilities), Jenni Friedly (UnityPoint Health – Marshalltown President), Shari King (Hospital Administrator), Wendy Smith (Project Manager) and many others.”

ADDING THE FINISHING TOUCHES As the hospital build and expansion closes in on its grand opening, Lang says he and his team have enjoyed their time in Marshalltown.

“My favorite part of it has been getting to interact and know the hospital staff and community members,” he said. “I love getting involved in projects for the fact that I get to help the overall community and feel like I’ve made a difference – in a good way.

“And everyone from the UnityPoint Health organization has just been amazing to work with. We couldn’t have done this project without their support and guidance. I’ve truly enjoyed working with everyone on the team and will definitely miss them.”

CARDIAC REHAB

Patient Hits Ground Running with Cardiac Rehab Lacinda Patterson was surprised when the doctor in the ER at UnityPoint Health – Marshalltown told her she was having a heart attack. Sure, she’d been experiencing some chest pain and mild numbness and tingling in her arms and fingers, but she attributed that to a past ulnar nerve surgery.

However, it didn’t match the level of shock she felt when she later learned something else – she actually likes cardiac rehab.

“I was hesitant about starting it, as I’ve never been one to enjoy exercise,” says the 55-year-old from LeGrand. “It’s only been a few weeks, but I absolutely love it. It gets me out of the house, and I meet new people in a non-judgmental, fun atmosphere, and I’m able to work at my own pace.”

In the rehab gym, Lacinda leans on Ashley Bonney, RN, who set up a customized program and goals, while introducing healthy lifestyle changes. During exercise sessions, Ashley closely and safely monitors Lacinda’s vitals, while doubling as her biggest cheerleader.

“She always comes to cardiac rehab with a positive, happy attitude, which is taken in by the people around her,” Bonney said. “She’s always willing to try hard and make herself better, and it’s a pleasure to work with her.”

When cardiac rehab was first recommended by her cardiologist, Lacinda wasn’t entirely sure what that involved.

“Then I did some researching and discovered it was doing exercises, and I thought to myself, ‘Oh no, I don’t know that I can do that,’” Lacinda said. “I mean, I tried doing a treadmill a few years ago and it was awful. But decided I needed to do this. So, I went, and it’s just been one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had.”

Q&A with Nick Heintz

REGIONAL MANAGER EMERGENCY GROUND AMBULANCE Lacinda Patterson (left) and Ashley Bonney, RN

For Lacinda, developing an exercise regimen and making healthy choices has been a revelation.

Q A Q A

“I just never pictured myself even making it 2 minutes, let alone 20 minutes, on a treadmill,” Lacinda explained. “One day, I asked if I could keep going, because I still had time left in my session.”

Recently, Lacinda purchased a recumbent bike for her home.

“It’s crazy to actually hear myself say that I’m enjoying exercising,” she said. “And I never would have if it weren’t for cardiac rehab giving me a push in the right direction. The staff is amazing. They truly care about you and your health journey.”

That’s just the sort of feedback that keeps healthcare workers like Bonney going.

“Health care is hard and stressful at times, especially the last 18 months or so,” Bonney said. “So, these kind words and all the appreciation from patients are reminders of why we do what we do.

“Seeing someone make improvements in their health and make changes in their life with the education and resources you have given them is what makes it all worthwhile. This makes me know that I’m where I’m supposed to be and doing what I’m supposed to be doing.”

Q

Where are you from originally?

A

I was born in Cedar Rapids and was raised on a farm south of Springville.

Why did you get into health care?

I joined the volunteer fire department while still in high school.

One of my very first calls was a CPR call, and I remember the feeling of not knowing what to do. I immediately decided I was never going to feel that way and completed my EMT certification right away. I’m still a volunteer firefighter/ paramedic. My first hospital job was at UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s as a security officer, where I worked for six years. I felt like the hospital was a small city, as we had so many different disciplines working together. We also had the luxury of providing security at Coe College, which exposed us to a lot of “non-hospital” elements. I eventually became a 911 dispatcher and a sheriff rescue paramedic. I was trained as a deputy sheriff, firefighter, hazmat technician and paramedic, along with vehicle extrication and specialized rescue. I responded to 911 calls all over Linn County and the surrounding counties. While not on calls, I was stationed at St. Luke’s in the emergency department.

Through it all, I loved helping people during their time of need and constantly looked for ways to interact with people.

What qualities best describe the care you and/or your team provide to patients?

Q A

Q A Q A

We try to center our care around the concept of providing the care you want your family to receive. I say “try” because the COVID-19 pandemic has really hit our department hard.

It’s hard to show empathy when you are just plain tired of all the shifts. This was compounded by the fact that we went from “healthcare heroes” to unknowns. Still, our team continues to reflect on the care we’ve provided and takes pride in our top-notch care and equipment.

What will the new hospital mean to you and the care your team provides?

The new hospital and EMS facility represent a new chapter in the Marshalltown healthcare system. While we respect the past, it will be nice to break the ceiling regarding the stigmas associated with the past bankruptcies and demonstrate to the community that health care is here to stay.

Are there any fun facts about you?

My first day out of training as a police reserve officer, I had my first high-speed chase, and it exceeded 100 mph.

What do you like to do in your free time?

Free time? With the pandemic, I’ve forgotten what the phrase means, but I’d like to get back to working on my house renovation projects and travel to Washington D.C.

New Family Medicine Clinic!

As our family medicine clinic in Marshalltown continues to expand, we’ve outgrown our space. That’s why we’re moving into a larger, remodeled clinic at 303 Nicholas Drive, about a mile north of the new hospital.

We plan to see patients in the new clinic in Spring 2022.
