 Welcome
to Ottumwa Regional Health Center. The information on
our Website is an overview of the many programs and
services we offer.
Ottumwa Regional Health Center is an independent, private,
not-for-profit organization governed by a community
Board of Directors. We are committed to providing quality
health care services to the people of Southeast Iowa
and Northeast Missouri. We offer state of the art technology
and a highly skilled staff of physicians, medical professionals
and support staff that are here to serve you.
Local ownership and voluntary governance help insure
that we are responsive to the needs of the communities
we serve. We also are affiliated with both the Iowa
Health System in Des Moines and the University of Iowa
Health System in Iowa City. These affiliations help
us bring an array of specialty care to those we serve.
ORHC serves as a regional hub for our eight county
service area. Working in partnership with surrounding
community hospitals, and our affiliate partners in Des
Moines and Iowa City, we are striving to develop a seamless
system of care for patients and their families. Over
70 physicians and 950 employee associates are here,
ready to care for you and your family. We are committed
to providing the highest quality of care possible, at
a responsible cost, in a caring and compassionate manner.
We hope this web site is informative and we welcome
