We're so grateful for our partnership with UCS Healthcare, which increases access to Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services to Iowans across the state. UCS has specialty clinics co-located with us at our offices in Iowa City (pictured), Ames, and Fort Dodge.

This November, we’re spotlighting our Iowa City location. It is one of fourteen UCS Healthcare locations across Iowa. We’re thankful to share space with Community & Family Resources, partnering to treat Iowans with substance use, gambling, and mental health needs. 💜
