We are honored to share that our Labor & Delivery Unit expansion and remodel project has been 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 $𝟏 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔. This investment comes through the USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Program and is one of only 15 projects selected in Iowa’s Second Congressional District, with local leadership from Congresswoman Ashley Hinson.

This support will help us continue our mission of providing high-quality, close-to-home obstetrics care for growing families. With rural Iowa seeing significant declines in maternity services, this funding allows GRMC to 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝 and 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑧𝑒 our unit — adding more labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum rooms and creating a better experience for expecting parents.

As the only hospital offering labor and delivery services across five counties — Poweshiek, Marshall, Iowa, Jasper and Tama — we are 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑑 to serve our rural region. Deliveries at GRMC continue to rise each year, and this project ensures we can meet that growing need.
