Thank you for your service. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Sergeant Nate Howard is an American hero.

He was from Marshalltown and served 11 years in the Iowa Army National Guard, where his family said he “loved what he was doing.”

He was tragically killed by an ISIS terrorist in Palmyra, Syria on December 13th while serving with 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division.

He leaves behind a loving family and will be remembered as a dedicated soldier and for his love of hunting and video games.

Center Associates recognizes the growing challenge in accessing mental health care for individuals with certain Medicare replacement plans. Due to low reimbursement rates and the limited number of mental health providers, we will, as of Jan 1, 2026, not be credentialed with Medicare United Healthcare plans at CA. We are encouraging Medicare (United Healthcare) patients—during this open enrollment period—to review and consider switching to a replacement plan that offers better coverage for brain health care. Center Associates is committed to helping you make informed choices. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE MEDICARE PATIENTS…

If you wish to explore other REPLACEMENT options that provide improved access to mental health services, please contact us at 641-752-1585 for assistance and guidance.
