The Iowa Clinic

The organization operates on a physician-governed, patient-centered model where decisions are made locally in Central Iowa rather than by corporate interests. The clinic has been recognized as one of America's Top 100 Healthcare Providers by Becker's Hospital Review and has received multiple Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Awards for patient satisfaction, as well as recognition from the Leapfrog Group for patient safety and the NCQA for quality care. For nursing professionals, The Iowa Clinic offers an outpatient multi-specialty environment with no night shifts in at least some RN roles. The organization emphasizes a cohesive, intentionally upbeat culture with team-focused events and community volunteering. Nurses work alongside physicians who are owners of the practice, creating a collaborative environment where patient care decisions are made locally. The clinic appears on Top Workplaces listings and offers a comprehensive benefits package highlighted by one of the most generous 401(k) employer profit sharing programs in the Des Moines metro area.

Mission: Dedicated to providing exceptional healthcare as a physician-owned, patient-driven, multi-specialty clinic. Vision: To be a leading force for healthy lives in Iowa. Values are framed as 'ACTions': Accountability, Compassion, and Teamwork. The organization emphasizes that decisions are based on patient needs rather than the bottom line, and that patients are treated as friends, neighbors, and family.
