One week after tornado damage forced the evacuation of its patients to other hospitals, Unity Point Health-Marshalltown reopened its main campus on Friday. Dustin Wright, the hospital’s Vice President of Operations, says it’s been a long week since 43 patients were moved after the tornado.
Wright says it helped that the hospital has a fairly new medical park on the south side of Marshalltown, a building was not affected by the July 19th tornado.
One of the hospital’s free-standing clinics in the downtown area, a cardiology clinic, was destroyed by the storm. It is being relocated to part of the main downtown campus and is expected to be seeing patients again by the end of this week.
