ALLEN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Allen Hospital, a 204-bed, not-for-profit community hospital serving the Cedar Valley, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Henry and Mary Allen. Affiliated with UnityPoint Health, an organization catering to one in every three patients in Iowa, the Hospital embodies their shared mission, vision, and values, emphasizing the significance of the people and communities it serves. Henry’s pledge, made in memory of Mary after her passing in 1913, continues to resonate through the hospital’s unwavering commitment to providing accessible, non-sectarian healthcare, a promise fulfilled since its dedication on Mary’s birthday in November 1924.

Henry and Mary Allen’s dedication to their community reverberates through the halls of the Hospital today. From its inception in 1925, the hospital has grown to become the busiest healthcare facility in the Cedar Valley, caring for more inpatients, outpatients, emergency patients, and cardiac patients than any other in its expansive 10-county service area. With modern facilities like United Medical Park and Prairie Parkway offering outpatient care tailored for comfort and convenience, the Hospital remains steadfast in its commitment to fulfilling Henry Allen’s enduring legacy, ensuring that his vision of accessible, quality healthcare for all endures for generations to come.
