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 more about the history of the two hospitals...
