Maggie Vorland, PT joined The Iowa Clinic Physical Therapy department in 2024 to be part of a collaboration-based and patient-centered care model. For Maggie, physical therapy offers her the ability to combine her love for activity and sports and her love for science and the healthcare field into one to provide the best care for her patients. Forming individual connections with patients, progressing them though their program and helping them to achieve their goals is something Maggie finds most rewarding. An Iowa native, Maggie is excited to continue to care for the people of central Iowa. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and dog, staying active outdoors, weightlifting, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

Meg Lamparek, ARNP joined The Iowa Clinic because of the patient-first focus and active participation in the surrounding communities. For Meg, ENT can be a challenging but rewarding specialty – from removing ear wax to helping to improve chronic chough and sore throat, she finds all of it to be rewarding. She most enjoys being able to find a care plan that works for the patient and help with ailments that have affected them for years. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and sons, going for hikes, bike rides, and exploring the Des Moines area with family. If she was not a provider and grew up on a farm, she would have been a veterinarian.
