Healthcare
Dedicated to the overall health and well-being of Mount Pleasant and its surrounding area is the Henry County Health Center (HCHC), a 74-bed facility that has been continually recognized for its exceptional medical programming and services at both the state and national levels. Recent accolades include HCHC’s acknowledgement as being one of the top 100 hospitals in the U.S., as well as one of the top 20 rural hospitals with fewer than 250 beds by Modern Healthcare. The hospital also received the “EMT-Paramedic Emergency Medical Service of the Year” award by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT).
HCHC provides healthcare that runs the gamut, ranging from cardiopulmonary, rehabilitation and inpatient services to emergency, imaging, laboratory and surgery services. The hospital is staffed by more than 300 knowledgeable healthcare professionals, including a medical staff that consists of more than 25 full-time Henry County-based physicians and physician extenders complemented by over 50 visiting specialists.

A community partnership with HCHC, Healthy Henry County Communities is a collaborative grassroots effort involving a multitude of local and state organizations, agencies, public and private entities, and interested citizens. These active organizations and members band together in order to help create a better quality of life for all area residents. Established in 1999, Healthy Henry County Communities has successfully evolved to continually address quality of life issues that reside in this southeast Iowa region. Recognized as a model program statewide, the non-profit organization is structured to respond to both opportunities and needs as they develop in the communities served.
On top of the outstanding services provided through HCHC and its affiliates, Mount Pleasant is served by a variety of practices, ranging from dental and chiropractic to primary care and optometry. Notable in the community is the Family Medicine in Mount Pleasant, P.C. Formed in 1990, this practice offers family practice, family practice with obstetrics, internal medicine and nephrology services. The practice is comprised of 10 physicians and two physician assistants.
Senior aid is readily available through several assisted living care options. Adjacent to the HCHC campus, Park Place offers an exceptional place for such needs. The 50-bed Pleasant Manor Care Center is a licensed nursing facility that provides immediate care to area seniors, while Arbor Court features three living facilities that offer four levels of services ranging from independent living to long-term care. Another prominent option for the elderly population in Mount Pleasant is SunnyBrook Ashford Park Assisted Living Facility, which offers memory care, home care and assisted living options in its modern residential community. SunnyBrook’s philosophy is to promote the availability of services in a home-like environment and in a manner that supports each individual’s needs and preferences.
