The care network — spine & orthopaedics

Iowa's largest network. One standard of care.

MercyOne is the largest health care system in the state of Iowa — 21 medical centers and more than 450 care locations. These are the seven core facilities where its spine and orthopaedic program operates, holds clinic, reaches outlying communities, and answers the emergency room.

Inpatient surgeryComplex spine24/7 ER coverageLevel III trauma centerSpine + orthopaedics
The 502-bed flagship medical center of the Quad Cities — a seven-story surgical tower, intensive care backup, and the region's emergency & trauma center. This is where the program's complex and inpatient operations happen: multi-level reconstructions, revisions, deformity corrections, and emergency spine surgery, with every hospital resource one floor away.
Complex surgery belongs where the depth is — ICU, 24/7 imaging, and a full trauma team under one roof.

Outpatient surgeryComplex spineTotal joint replacementAAAHC Advanced Orthopaedic Certification
The Quad Cities' largest multi-specialty outpatient surgery center — and the first and only surgery center in Iowa to earn AAAHC Advanced Orthopaedic Certification for total joint replacement and complex spine. Home of the region's only outpatient spine surgery program: appropriate patients have surgery in the morning and recover in their own bed that night.
Outpatient surgery means lower cost, lower infection risk, and faster recovery — a model Dr. Pugely's own published research helped establish as safe.

The Davenport clinic home — a group of fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopaedic surgeons spanning joints, sports medicine, hand, foot & ankle, and spine. Located on the same Dexter Court campus as the Mississippi Valley Surgery Center, so evaluation, imaging, and outpatient surgery sit one parking lot apart.
See the specialist, get imaging, and schedule surgery — one campus, one visit when possible.

The program's newly acquired Bettendorf home — a purpose-built orthopaedic facility with dedicated clinic space and a fully built-out outpatient surgical suite. The next chapter of the practice is being built at this address — the Crow Valley clinic is the new Bettendorf home of the orthopaedic program.
One dedicated building designed around a single goal: moving you from consultation to treatment without friction.
