Services for Providers

Partnership is the heart of our work. We would love to partner with you to help align our services so our communities are stronger! Currently, we partner with health care providers and child care providers throughout central Iowa. Together, we can make sure that fewer people find themselves in poverty, and those who do have a path out.

MICA partners with health care providers because we have a shared purpose: to ensure high-quality care for all central Iowans. We believe that improved patient care results from a family-centered model. This type of individualized attention and interaction is MICA’s strength. We value working one-on-one with families to remove barriers to their success, and this includes ensuring that they and their children have adequate access to high-quality health, dental, and mental health care. 

MICA has special resources for child care providers as well. Our Child Care Nurse Consultant can help you build a safe environment, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program can reimburse you for providing healthy, nutritious food to the children in your care.
