History
[edit]St. Luke's roots can be traced back to Sioux City's first hospital, Samaritan, in the 1880s. Samaritan later merged with Methodist Hospital, and in the 1960s, Methodist and Lutheran Hospitals consolidated to form St. Luke's Regional Medical Center. St. Luke's new hospital was constructed at the corner of 27th and Stone Park Boulevard in Sioux City. Starting as a single acute-care hospital, St. Luke's grew to include a health system with St. Luke's College, St. Luke's Health Foundation and an entire clinic network. In addition, statewide efforts such as the Iowa Statewide Poison Control Center and My Nurse, a 24/7 health helpline, can trace their roots back to St. Luke's.
In 1995, St. Luke's joined a grassroots partnership with other Iowa hospitals to form Iowa Health System. Today, the organization is known as UnityPoint and is the fifth largest non-denominational health system in America.[4] Through relationships with 25 hospitals in metropolitan and rural communities and more than 160 physician clinics, Iowa Health System provides care throughout Iowa and Illinois.
