VMH Monona Clinic in Monona, Iowa is a primary care facility affiliated with Veterans Memorial Hospital in Waukon, Iowa, a 20-minute drive away.
Veterans Memorial Hospital has three very strong partners in the Mayo Waukon Clinic, Gundersen Waukon Clinic and Dr. McMullan’s Postville Medical Clinic who have supported Veterans Memorial Hospital for many years. However, recent events, with Dr. Venteicher resigning from Gundersen and Dr. Ross leaving Mayo in August, have left this area short on medical providers,” Myers said regarding the need for a clinic. “Given the increasing difficulty to find providers willing to work in rural medicine and the current difficulty of people getting into the local clinics to be seen, the board of trustees and myself quickly realized that it was imperative that we step up to assist in this health care access issue.
We look forward to continue working with our partners at the Waukon Mayo and Gundersen Clinics as well as Dr. McMullan’s Postville Clinic, bringing even more accessible health care to this population that has always been a very important part of our service area, and making sure they can continue to have their health care provided, right here at home.
