The new affiliation is effective May 1, after 16 years of partnership with University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

“We feel that with our mission as a rural hospital, UnityPoint Health will help us fulfill that mission,” said Mike Riege, Virginia Gay Hospital administrator. “The University of Iowa has always been a good partner, but we think UnityPoint has more to offer us as a rural hospital.”
