Woods call Humboldt home


The Dr. Megan and Dr. Ryan Wood family have traded the beaches of Florida for the corn fields of Iowa. The couple settled into their new home in Humboldt earlier this summer and will begin seeing patients at the UnityPoint Clinic in Humboldt next week. Pictured from left: Merida, Megan, Kaitlin, Ryan and Channing Wood. Submitted photo.

For Humboldt’s new doctors, Megan and Ryan Wood, building a life and a home for their young family was a number one priority.
So when the opportunity to practice here was presented to them, they were quite interested.
“I’m from a small town in Oklahoma. It was a town of 1,200 people and there were 40 students in my graduating class, so I like small towns,” Dr. Megan Wood said.
“It’s nice to come back and let my children experience that.”
The Woods have a goal of providing extended office hours in the future for working people and athletes after school.
They will be seeing patients at UnityPoint Clinic Family Medicine — Humboldt beginning Aug. 1. People can call (515) 332-2015 to schedule an appointment and can also be referred from their current provider.
