“My patients have taught me what’s most important in life: God, sense of humor, positive attitude and love of family and friends.”

The three levels of the MSC are named after natural resource areas in Mahaska County in an effort to celebrate our rich natural heritage. We are always looking for amateur photographs of the Hawthorne Wildlife Management Area and Cedar Bluffs Natural Area to decorate the MSC. If you are interested in sharing one of your photos please contact the PR/Marketing office at (641) 672-3240.
When you walk into the main entrance of the MSC you are on the Hawthorne Level. When you enter the building you will be greeted by the MHP Volunteer Network and the Physician's Clinic team. Both teams are available to ensure you easily reach your destination. The following physicians and services are located on the Hawthorne Level.
