Allen Hospital is a 204-bed, not-for-profit community hospital serving the Cedar Valley. Allen is an affiliate hospital of Iowa Health System, which cares for one of every three patients in Iowa. Henry and Mary Allen settled in Waterloo in the early 1860s. They prospered here for 40 years as business people and breeders of fine horses. They moved to California in 1900, but never forgot friends and neighbors back home. After Mary died in 1913, Henry resolved to do something lasting in her memory. Henry promised the citizens of Waterloo 80 acres of prime land and $200,000 to found a non-sectarian hospital open to all, regardless of circumstance. Allen Hospital was dedicated on Maryโ€™s birthday in November 1924 and opened in February 1925. Five generations of Cedar Valley families have been beneficiaries of his gift ever since. Today, Allen Hospital is the busiest hospital in the Cedar Valley. We care for more inpatients, outpatients, emergency patients and cardiac patients than any other hospital in our 10-county service area. United Medical Park and Prairie Medical Park offer ambulatory care in facilities that are built for your comfort and convenience. We strive to fulfill Henry Allenโ€™s legacy, and we think he would be pleased to see that his promise remains well-kept.

Allen Hospital performed its 300th open-heart surgery today, extending a record year for this type of heart procedure! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’™

With 300 open-heart surgeries and counting, the Allen Hospital heart team surpassed its previous record of 262 set in 2003 (which was nearly broken in 2023 with 260 procedures). That previous mark of 262 was eclipsed by October, demonstrating the programโ€™s consistent growth and excellence.

Then ... the open-heart team celebrated Wednesdayโ€™s milestone with cake and photos.

โ€œWeโ€™re proud of achieving this milestone,โ€ says Dr. Bhavik Patel, who leads the open-heart team along with providers Bill Curtis, MD, Caleb Anderson, ARNP, Robert Blanken, PA-C, Brianna Christensen, PA, and Hailey Robertson, DNP. โ€œCertainly, this team prioritizes quality over quantity, but this number also symbolizes a lot of hard work, long hours and a deep commitment to caring for our community.โ€

Dianeโ€™s Story

In 2020, Diane Anderson faced one of the rarest and most aggressive forms of breast cancer.

Thanks to donors, Dianeโ€™s care team at our Community Cancer Center was equipped with the advanced technology, specialized training and vital resources needed to surround her with expertise and compassion. Today, she is approaching five years cancer-free. ๐Ÿ‘

In September 2020, just before a trip to Colorado, Diane noticed a small lump under her arm. She almost ignored it but chose to see her doctor.

While in Colorado, she received the news she didn't want to hear โ€“ it was a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer found in only 1% of cases. She returned home immediately and began treatment with Dr. Bilal Rahim at UnityPoint Health Allen Hospital โ€“ Community Cancer Center.

Throughout her treatment, Diane placed her full trust in her UnityPoint Health โ€“ Waterloo care team.

When her treatments ended, Diane finally heard the word she had been waiting for ... remission. She remains cancer-free today. With each checkup, she's reminded of the extraordinary care and support that guided her through her journey.

โ€œI cry every time I go back,โ€ she says, profoundly thankful for the team who saved her life. โ€œEvery week I went in, they were there for me. The receptionist, the nurse, the lab tech, Dr. (Bilal) Rahim, the infusion nurses โ€“ all are just wonderful, positive people.โ€
