IOWA — Trinity Health is set to take over all MercyOne facilities in Iowa.

The three organizations have been operating under a joint operating agreement since 1988, but now Trinity Health has reached an agreement to take over MercyOne’s 27 affiliate organizations, and 420 care sites.

We are grateful to CommonSpirit for more than 20 years of partnership.”
