Groundbreaking: UnityPoint Health - Trinity Muscatine Mulberry Health Clinic
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Wednesday, June 14th to celebrate the new UnityPoint Health – Trinity Muscatine Mulberry Health Clinic in Muscatine, Iowa.
The construction of the $19 MM clinic is possible thanks to a longstanding partnership with the Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine and UnityPoint Health® – Trinity Muscatine. The facility will include a new three-story 42,000 s.f. medical clinic building with 71 exam rooms, 5 treatment rooms, 6 patient intake rooms, 25 provider offices, administrative offices, conference room, diabetic education room, and a new staff parking lot. Medical services provided will include Pediatrics, Gynecology, Family Medicine, Surgery, and Internal Medicine.
“We’re proud to celebrate improving the health of the Muscatine community,” said Charla Schafer, President of Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine. “We view strong local healthcare as foundational. The new facility will enable more equitable access for all who live in our area communities.”
The new clinic will provide a modern and adaptable space for health care professionals to practice and for patients to receive care. Designed to serve patients efficiently and safely, the floor plan will allow for better patient monitoring and easier communication among the care providers. The new space is also expected to help recruit and retain health care professionals, ensuring quality primary health care in the Muscatine community.
The project is expected to take 18 months, to be completed in the fall of 2024, and will allow for the existing clinic to remain operating during construction.
As a community-focused company, we are thrilled to be a part of this project that will benefit the Muscatine community through improved access to quality healthcare.
