Horn Welcomes New General Surgeon


In conjunction with Midlands Clinic, P.C.; Horn Memorial Hospital would like to welcome General Surgeon, Dr. JD Welander to Ida Grove.

Dr. Welander will be seeing patients every Tuesday at Horn Memorial Hospital in Ida Grove beginning March 5th. He specializes in the latest general surgery techniques including, but not limited to, breast cancer surgery, colorectal surgery, gallbladder and hernia surgeries, and minimally invasive surgeries.

A native of Pomeroy, Iowa, Dr. Welander graduated from North Park University in 2004, majoring in Biology. He went on to receive his Doctorate from Creighton University School of Medicine in 2009 and completed his residency in Des Moines at Iowa Methodist Hospital in 2014.  He joined the Midlands team in 2017 where he also serves as a member of the Midlands Coordinated Breast Care team.

Dr. Welander commented on his new outreach clinic in Ida Grove, “I grew up in a small town and I am excited for the opportunity to partner with Horn Memorial Hospital. There is nothing more fulfilling than meeting a patient with a problem that I can help resolve, and to perform that operation in a minimally invasive manner if possible. Offering good outcomes, state-of-the-art care and a compassionate ear are important qualities to have as a surgeon. I am excited to offer these services to patients in the Ida Grove Community.”
