Anamosa & Grant Wood Corridor Medical Supply Hub – Linn, Jones & Delaware Counties
Anamosa sits between Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, and the Mississippi River, serving UnityPoint St. Luke’s, Mercy Cedar Rapids, Jones Regional Medical Center, Anamosa Community Hospital, the Anamosa State Penitentiary, and Grant Wood’s rural communities. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #646 at 101 115th Street keeps hospitals, critical access facilities, correctional health teams, EMS agencies, and county public health offices stocked with same-day supplies without driving into Cedar Rapids.
Within 20 minutes are Jones Regional, UnityPoint Urgent Care Marion, MercyCare Mechanicsville, the new BAE Systems aerospace plant, Camp Courageous of Iowa, and miles of U.S. 151/US 30 freight. Floodplains along the Wapsipinicon River, RAGBRAI stopovers, motorcycling tourists headed to the National Motorcycle Museum, and state prison operations all rely on resilient medical logistics. When eastern Iowans search “medical suppliers near me,” this Anamosa hub delivers chain-of-custody precision across small towns and industrial sites.
Anamosa’s history spans limestone quarries, the Anamosa State Penitentiary (built in 1872), Grant Wood’s childhood, and modern agribusiness. LAC Health honors that mix with bilingual documentation, weather-ready staging, and relationships across Linn, Jones, and Delaware county emergency managers.

Grant Wood Country Resilience
This region has endured the 2008 Cedar River flood, 2020 derecho, recurring Wapsipinicon floods, and pandemic surges that taxed rural hospitals. The area hosts the Iowa Men’s Reformatory, the Grant Wood Scenic Byway, and busy agribusiness corridors. LAC Health builds on that resilience with elevated storage, generator backup, and direct lines to county EOCs.
