Grand River Medical Group Transitions to UnityPoint Clinic May 4
Apr 21, 2025The integration of Grand River Medical Group (GRMG) and UnityPoint Clinic will 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.
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.
Existing appointments will be honored and transitioned to 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.”
UnityPoint Clinic accepts insurance from several insurance providers and is in discussion with the following groups regarding participation in their networks:
- Dean Health Plan
- Quartz Health Benefit Plans Corporation
- Cottingham and Butler Health Plan
- The Alliance
Patients are encouraged to contact their insurance provider for coverage information.
“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.
“This is a new day for Dubuque – we’re bringing together two organizations with a rich history of quality care, streamlining primary, specialty and urgent care for the tri-state community. We are excited to welcome the physicians, advanced practice providers and staff onto our team, and to continue providing exceptional care to our patients.”
