MercyIowaCityClinics.org is an independent health and wellness editorial publication. The MICC Review Team covers supplements, wellness products, telehealth services, and everyday health topics with a focus on what the evidence actually says — not what the marketing wants you to believe.
A Note About This Domain Name
You may be wondering about the name. This domain previously hosted content related to Mercy Iowa City's outpatient clinic network, which operated family medicine and specialty clinics across the Iowa City and eastern Iowa region. In January 2024, Mercy Iowa City was acquired by University of Iowa Health Care, and those clinical operations now function under the UI Health Care system.
This website has no connection to that history. We acquired this domain after the clinical entity transitioned, and we operate it as an entirely separate, independent editorial publication. We have no relationship with UI Health Care, the former Mercy Iowa City hospital, any of its physicians or staff, or any clinical operation past or present.
If you are looking for medical care previously provided at a Mercy Iowa City clinic location, please visit uihc.org or call 319-339-0300.
What the MICC Review Team Does
The MICC Review Team researches and writes about health and wellness products for a general consumer audience. Our editorial focus is practical: we look at what's in a product, whether the ingredients have clinical evidence behind them, what dosages the research actually used, and how the product compares to alternatives on the market.
We are not physicians, pharmacists, dietitians, or licensed healthcare providers of any kind. Our content is informational — it's designed to help you ask better questions and make more informed purchasing decisions, not to replace the guidance of your doctor.
Our Coverage Areas
Wellness Reviews — The MICC Review Team evaluates dietary supplements, wellness devices, personal care products, and health-adjacent consumer goods. Every review follows a structured process that examines ingredients, evidence quality, pricing, and safety considerations.
Weight & Metabolism — Coverage of weight management supplements, metabolic health products, and the GLP-1/telehealth landscape. This is one of the most heavily marketed categories in consumer health, and the MICC Review Team works to separate substantiated claims from wishful thinking.
Everyday Health — Practical coverage of topics that affect your daily life — sleep quality, stress management, joint comfort, energy, digestive health, and the products marketed to address these concerns.
