The History of Upland Hills Health
Upland Hills Health was formed as the result
of a merger of two Dodgeville hospitals: St. Joseph's Hospital
and Dodgeville General Hospital. They came together in 1974
as a united non-profit organization, as Memorial Hospital
of Iowa County, Inc. In 2001 the corporate identity was changed
to Upland Hills Health to reflect a growing service area
and expanded health services. Read
