The integration of Grand River Medical Group (GRMG) and UnityPoint Clinic is expected to be finalized on Sunday, May 4. At that time, GRMG’s physicians, advanced practice providers and team members will become part of UnityPoint Clinic and clinic locations will be owned and operated by UnityPoint Clinic.

“The transition process has proceeded as expected and very smoothly.  We are fortunate UnityPoint Health – Dubuque and Grand River Medical Group have worked closely for many years, making the transition easier,” said Dr. Trish Newland, President, UnityPoint Clinic. “We are excited to have Grand River Medical Group join UnityPoint Clinic and are looking forward to improving the health of the communities we serve within the Tri-State area.”

Patients will continue to receive the same exceptional care, from the same providers and care team members, they know and trust. As GRMG becomes a part of UnityPoint Clinic, patients will benefit from:

• Expertise of a nationally recognized health system that serves Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.
• Close affiliation with UnityPoint Health – Finley Hospital and the Dubuque Visiting Nurse Association.
• Access to UnityPoint Clinic’s MyUnityPoint patient portal, for easy scheduling, prescription renewal and communicating with providers. This access will begin later this year.

Patients will notice new signage, clinic names and logos on buildings, appointment reminders and billing. Clinic locations, hours and phone numbers will stay the same.

“Both organizations have a rich history of serving their communities, driven by the belief that healthcare is best when it’s local and we look forward to continuing that legacy together,” said Dr. Ron Iverson, President and Medical Director, Grand River Medical Group.
