Allen Hospital

The Allen Hospital in February 2011

Allen Hospital is a 204-bed, not-for-profit community hospital serving the Cedar Valley. It is the busiest hospital in the Cedar Valley, caring for more inpatients, outpatients, emergency patients and cardiac patients than any other hospital in our 10-county service area. Allen Hospital is an affiliate hospital of UnityPoint Health, which cares for one of every three patients in Iowa.

Services

The hospital features a cardiac care unit, which performs about 250 open heart procedures per year. The hospital features a Level II neonatal nursery and delivers more than 1,000 babies a year. It has invested $1.4 million on the Da Vinci Surgical System in order to reduce costs and surgical wait times.[1]

A new 70,000-square-foot Emergency Department was built in 2009. It was named the Pauline Barrett Pavilion for the $5 million donation local philanthropist Pauline Barrett gave in 2007.[2]
