Henry County Health Center has been a cornerstone of the Mount Pleasant community since its founding in 1921, steadily growing and adapting to meet evolving healthcare needs for over a century. With a strong commitment to providing local, compassionate, and high-quality care, this facility has developed a reputation for serving Southeast Iowa’s residents with dedication and expertise. Over the years, the health center has expanded both its services and its reach, always prioritizing patient well-being and comfort in every aspect of care.
At its core, Henry County Health Center is a modern 74-bed facility, comprising 25 acute care beds to address immediate and short-term health concerns. The campus also proudly features Park Place Elder Living, the center’s 49-bed long-term care home dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for its elder residents. Park Place Elder Living emphasizes comfort, dignity, and engagement, ensuring that each individual receives personalized attention from staff who genuinely care about their health and happiness.
The health center serves as a primary hub for an extensive range of services in the region. Patients have access to comprehensive primary care tailored to all ages, along with an emergency department equipped to handle urgent and complex medical situations around the clock. The walk-in clinic supports those seeking quick access to care for less urgent needs, offering convenience for busy lifestyles or sudden illnesses. Additionally, specialized services are available for mental health, women’s health, and elder care, allowing individuals and families to confidently manage a broad spectrum of wellness needs at one central location. An on-site pharmacy adds further convenience, ensuring that prescribed medications are close at hand for patients and residents.
One of the distinguishing features of Henry County Health Center is its collaborative and patient-focused approach. Whether seeking elder living options through Park Place, routine health screenings, immediate emergency care, or support for mental wellness, community members find reassurance in the center’s comprehensive resources and commitment to tailored care. The goal at every touchpoint is to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time—supporting a healthier, more connected community for generations to come.
