Welcome! Since 1945, Iowa Medical Partners has existed as a nonprofit organization for the spouses and partners of the physicians and dentists in training at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics.

TESTIMONIALS
"Joining Iowa Medicals Partners is one of the best decisions I made to help ease the transition into this next stage of life. I moved to Iowa not knowing a single person, but thanks to IMP I am surrounded by incredible people that I would not have met otherwise. With so many events each month, there really is something for everyone. I hope you get as much out of this amazing organization as I did!" -Jennifer M.
"Iowa Medical Partners has been such a blessing to me for the last six years. When my husband and I moved to Iowa City in 2018, we were a young couple looking for friends in our new city. I found IMP, and we started joining “Spouses out Socializing” every month. From there, we met some of our best friends! As our family grew, we continued to find support through IMP, with playgroups and children’s activities. I love how IMP has given me a chance to connect with new friends every year, and taken me to places/events in Iowa City that I would have never explored on my own. I am so thankful to IMP for making our time in Iowa so fun and memorable." -Meghan O.
"Iowa Medical Partners has been a wonderful resource to help us get to know Iowa City and connect with other residents families. My husband and I have enjoyed meeting new people at the “spouses out socializing” events, and since having kids, we’ve begun attending IMP’s playgroups and children’s events which have been fun for the whole family. Each year I look forward to meeting new members at the welcome picnic in August. I’m so grateful to have had this supportive group throughout residency and for all the lifelong friendships we’ve made!" -Rachael C.
