Patients requiring rheumatological care can benefit from the wide range of interventions that are available today. At Mahaska Health, our goal is to treat arthritis and other autoimmune conditions, so that each of our patients can resume their daily activities and lead a full life. We will always work closely with primary care providers, and any other specialists involved in a patient’s care to coordinate and optimize treatment.
