In coordination with the Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine, Muscatine Health Support Fund,
and UnityPoint Health® – Trinity Muscatine, the Mulberry Health Clinic Project is in the final phase of
pre-construction design with groundbreaking scheduled this summer.

“Increasing access to local, quality health care services is critical to improving health outcomes for
residents in our rural communities,” said Rachel Pohl, Executive Director, UnityPoint Health – Trinity
Muscatine. “The new facility will enable continued and expanded services, enhanced recruitment of
physicians, and improved quality of life, efficiency, and experience of patients and providers.”

The new three-floor, 42,000 square-foot health clinic will remain attached to the UnityPoint Health
Trinity Muscatine Hospital providing easy access to lab and radiology, in-patient and out-patient
services, and service delivery for emergent issues. The adjacent location of the new facility will allow for
continued operation of the current clinic during construction.

healthcare system costs and improved health outcomes will make for residents of Muscatine County,”
said Jamie Leza, Vice President of Operations, Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine. “This
