Creating real and lasting solutions

August 17, 2008

Providing care for people who are ill or injured is the core business of Trinity Regional Medical Center. That has been the legacy of health care in our community since the first hospital in Fort Dodge opened in 1909. From a national perspective, the state of Iowa ranks high in terms of quality and efficiency compared to the other 49 states. In fact in a recent national study by the Commonwealth Fund, hospitals in Iowa ranked second in the nation in the key dimensions of health system performance, which includes quality of care, access to care, efficiency and commitment to improving community health status.

Even though providing quality medical care is Trinity’s first priority, it is not our only priority.
