It has been over 65 years since the founders of McFarland Clinic PC decided to embark on a new venture. In January 1946, they began one of Iowa's first multi-specialty clinics.

G.E. McFarland, Sr, M.D., a general practitioner; his two sons,G.E. McFarland, Jr. M.D., a general surgeon; and J.E. McFarland, M.D.,an internist; along with O.L. Thorburn, M.D., an ear, nose and throat specialist; and David Wall Sr., M.D., an obstetrician, were McFarlandClinic's first partners. These five physicians believed that a multi-specialty group practice offered the best means of providing quality medical care. That remains the philosophy at McFarland Clinic PC today.

Today, McFarland Clinic PC is central Iowa's largest physician-owned multi-specialty clinic. The McFarland Clinic PC network of healthcare providers serves residents in 10 Iowa communities with additional communities served by physician outreach clinics. More than one million patient visits are made at McFarland Clinic annually, offered by more than 200 providers and 1,000 staff members.
