Carroll, Iowa-based St. Anthony Regional Hospital and the Ames, Iowa-based McFarland Clinic are collaborating to provide orthopedic services to local patients.
Here are four notes:
1. The Des Moines (Iowa) Orthopedic Surgeons space at St. Anthony transitioned to McFarland Orthopedic Services as of June 11.
2. Thomas Dulaney, MD, will continue practicing as a part-time DMOS orthopedic surgeon. He will reduce his schedule to two mornings a week.
3. David Muron, MD, a McFarland-contracted physician, will practice Monday through Friday.
4. McFarland Clinic CEO Andrew Perry said two full-time orthopedic surgeons will be recruited within the coming year. Current employees will remain onboard.
"This is a very exciting time for orthopedics in Carroll," said St. Anthony President and CEO Ed Smith. "As Dr. Dulaney looks to reduce his schedule, we have the opportunity to expand our team to include more surgeons."
