Hyperbaric Center

Finley Hospital, part of UnityPoint Health, is a full-service acute care facility located in Dubuque, Iowa, serving the Tri-State area of Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. It generates revenue primarily through inpatient and outpatient services, including emergency care, surgery, imaging, lab, and specialized programs such as palliative care, behavioral health, heart care, a birth center, and a sleep center. As a regional referral center, it employs over 100 clinical and support staff and operates with a mission to deliver innovative, patient‑centered care to the community. Its size places it among the mid‑sized community hospitals in the region, giving it a stable patient base and steady cash flow.With an estimated 100+ W‑2 employees, Finley Hospital stands to save approximately $119,000 per year ($1,190 × 100) through the Employee Benefits Program’s tax‑credit optimization, a recurring monthly benefit that directly improves the bottom line. The Chief Executive Officer (or Chief Medical Officer) oversees benefits strategy and would be motivated by the opportunity to redirect those savings toward staff retention initiatives, reducing turnover in critical nursing and technical roles, and enhancing the hospital’s competitive benefits package to attract top talent in a tight healthcare labor market. Additionally, the savings could be reinvested in service line upgrades—such as expanding the Heart Care or Sleep Center—further strengthening Finley’s market position in the Tri‑State area. These concrete financial and operational advantages make Finley Hospital an ideal EBP prospect.
