UnityPoint Health System

UnityPoint Health System was established in 1994 as a non-profit health system headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa. Scott Kizer holds the role of President and CEO after prior service as Chief Legal Officer. The system operates facilities in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin and maintains two supporting foundations that direct grants to hospital operations. The system allocates 5.19 percent of assets to private equity and runs UnityPoint Health Ventures as its investment vehicle. Strategies listed include venture, growth, buyout, and secondaries. Confirmed positions through the venture arm include OpenLoop Health, Health Catalyst, b.well Connected Health, TailorMed, and HealthSnap. Geographic reach centers on the Midwest with additional exposure via portfolio companies operating nationally. Ticket sizes for commitments range from $1 million to $3 million. Employee count stands at 10,001. Additional offices are not separately disclosed. The system maintains membership in the American Hospital Association and the Iowa Medical Society. Two foundations, UnityPoint Health – Des Moines Foundation and UnityPoint Health Marshalltown Foundation, handle grant-making. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The structure combines direct ownership of hospital real estate and equipment with a limited venture program executed through UnityPoint Health Ventures. This hybrid places the organization as both operator and selective LP rather than a pure financial investor or traditional endowment.
