Pella Rolscreen Foundation Contributes $15,000 to Orange City Area Health System Surgery Center Remodel

Orange City Area Health System (OCAHS) has received a generous $15,000 gift from the Pella Rolscreen Foundation to support the hospital’s surgical center remodel. This investment will help expand OCAHS’s surgical suite by adding a new operating room and procedural space, increasing capacity and improving access to safe, high-quality care for patients throughout the region.

The project is a critical step in meeting growing surgical demand and ensuring rural communities have timely access to advanced medical services close to home. The health system serves patients from 11 counties in Northwest Iowa, as well as Nebraska and South Dakota.

“This expansion will allow not only more surgical procedures, but also the opportunity to do them more efficiently,” remarked Marty Guthmiller, CEO of Orange City Area Health System. “This investment ensures that OCAHS can continue meeting the region’s growing surgical needs, including the recruitment of additional surgeons and specialized services.”

In addition to expanding the health system’s surgery center, the remodel includes relocating cardiac rehab services, creating an inpatient physical therapy space, constructing a new conference room for education, and creating a nursing mother’s room for staff and visitors. The remodel also supports the addition of new, state-of-the art technology and advanced surgical robotic systems, including the da Vinci 5.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Pella Rolscreen Foundation for their generous support of our surgical remodel,” commented Sarah Jungers, OCAHS Director of Foundation and Community Relations. “This gift will help ensure our facility can continue to meet the growing needs of the communities we serve with modern, patient-centered services.”

Expected completion of this project is May 2026.
