Letter from the President

Welcome to Iowa Health System.  

We are proud to be the largest health system in Iowa and the first integrated health system in the state. We are physicians, hospitals, civic leaders and local volunteers from every section of the state and even beyond Iowa’s borders. We are committed to providing the highest possible quality of care in more than 70 communities in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and South Dakota.

We are dedicated to our mission of improving the health and well-being of the people we serve by providing the highest quality health care possible. We strive to treat each patient with respect, dignity and kindness.

Iowa Health System has become a health provider of choice, as a result of significant investment in our facilities, clinical program development, research and innovation, community outreach programs and our physicians.

We recognize our vital social responsibilities as a member of the communities we serve. In the past year, Iowa Health System contributed $101 million in care to uninsured and underinsured individuals of all ages and backgrounds, in addition to sponsoring numerous community outreach activities, classes, projects and partnerships.

If you believe there are other ways we can be of service to you or your community, I hope you will always feel free to contact me at (515) 241-6161.

With warmest regards,
Bill Leaver
President and CEO
Iowa Health System
