The name really isn’t change, but the services are now expanding for local patients. Grinnell Regional Medical Center is now part of the Unity Point Health-Des Moines in partnership with University of Iowa Health Care. GRMC spokesperson Jeanette Budding says this new arrangement will only help the hospital expand the services it can offer.

Under this agreement, Unity Point Health-Des Moines will become the sole corporate member of Grinnell Regional Medical Center.
