UnityPoint Health

Healthcare network in the Midwest US

UnityPoint Health (known as Iowa Health System until 2013) is a hospital network in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. The system began in 1993, when Iowa Lutheran Hospital and Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines merged, forming the state's largest provider of hospital and related health services. The organization grew to encompass eight metropolitan areas and changed its name in 2013 to reflect that it was no longer exclusive to Iowa.[1][2]
