At 64, Kim Hopp wasn’t ready to give up her active lifestyle. Years of arthritis and a serious infection left her walking on the side of her foot just to manage the pain.
After exhausting other treatments, Kim chose ankle replacement surgery at MercyOne —and it changed everything.
“I wanted to stay active for my grandkids,” Kim said. “Now I can walk over two miles without pain!”
Thanks to the care team at MercyOne, Kim is back at the gym and living life on her terms. 💪
Her advice? “If you’re struggling with long-term ankle pain, don’t wait. This surgery gave me my life back.”

MercyOne Elkader Medical Center (formerly known as Central Community Hospital) was dedicated on June 10, 1961. The hospital was built at a cost of $400,000 and financed in its entirety by people and friends of central Clayton County with voluntary contributions. Emmett Whalen and A.J. Johnson chaired the fundraising efforts.
The Central Community Hospital (CCH) Board of Directors and Mercy Health Network (MHN) announced on January 18, 2018 that a Letter of Intent for Des Moines-based MHN to acquire CCH and fully integrate the hospital into Mercy Health Network had been signed. On October 1, 2018 CCH officially became a wholly owned member of Mercy Health Network. Leaders from both entities and community members came together for a blessing and official welcoming of the hospital into Mercy Health Network on November 6, 2018. On February 1, 2019 the hospital’s name was transitioned to MercyOne Elkader Medical Center and the ambulance service’s name was transitioned to MercyOne Elkader Ambulance.
