Iowa Heart Center Logo

Dr. Joel From, with the Iowa Heart Center, visits the DCH Outpatient Clinic each month to offer clinical cardiology services. Dr. From helps patients with the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease including consultations, cardiac and vascular testing, and follow-up visits to assess your progress. Some common conditions that Dr. From treats include:

In addition to on-site visits with Dr. From twice each month, on the 1st Friday of each month Sandy Hall, ARNP, will be available for telehealth cardiology appointments.

Patients who utilize this service will continue to visit the DCH Outpatient Clinic in person, and our staff will seamlessly connect them with Sandy using a video conference connection.

On-site cardiac equipment will allow our staff to partner with Sandy to gather cardiac data, and transmit that information to inform health care decisions.

One important factor in continued cardiac care is the management of implanted devices. It is important to check these devices, and ensure they are in proper working order to protect your heart. Every other month, a nurse from the Iowa Heart Center visits the DCH Outpatient Clinic to check and maintain the following cardiology devices:

  • Medtronic (carelink)
  • Abott/SJM (Merlin)
  • Boston Scientific (Latitude)
  • Biotronik

To schedule your cardiology appointment, call the DCH Outpatient Clinic at 641-446-2285.
