The Iowa Clinic announced it is expanding its OB/GYN services with the addition of Dr. Alicia Toncar to its Women’s Center. This addition aims to ensure women and families across the state have continued access to high-quality, local obstetrics and gynecologic care when nearly one-third of Iowa’s 99 counties are classified as maternity care deserts. Toncar, a Central Iowa native who completed her residency in California, will provide clinical, surgical, and hospital-based care. “I’m looking forward to caring for women in the community that helped shape me, and to being part of an organization that truly prioritizes exceptional patient care,” Toncar said in a statement.
