BVU, Iowa Primary Care Association Establish Strategic Partnership
Collaboration with Buena Vista University offers educational benefits to Iowa Primary Care Association employees and their eligible family members.
Buena Vista University (BVU) and the Iowa Primary Care Association have entered a Strategic Partnership that mutually benefits both organizations as they strive to strengthen the communities and the people they serve.
This partnership allows for employees of Iowa Primary Care Association, as well as eligible family members of full-time employees, to receive grant funding to lower the overall cost per credit hour while enrolled in BVU’s convenient online undergraduate programs or the organizational leadership graduate program. Partner grant funding also lowers the cost of education for students enrolled in classes at BVU’s Storm Lake campus.
“We are very excited to partner with Buena Vista University to offer our team members and their families benefits to pursue educational opportunities. Supporting education not only equips us to address future challenges, but it also helps us to prepare leaders for the communities that we support.”

The Iowa Primary Care Association is a nonprofit organization that provides training and technical assistance to 13 community health centers and one migrant health program throughout the state, supporting their ongoing commitment to provide quality, affordable primary and preventative health care to meet community needs. Headquartered in Des Moines, the Iowa Primary Care Association is focused on enhancing community health centers’ capacity to care, and it is recognized as a trusted voice on health care, particularly concerning under-resourced populations.
“Buena Vista University is thrilled to partner with the Iowa Primary Care Association, an organization dedicated to ensuring health equity for all,” says BVU Director of Strategic Partnerships Laura Todd. “BVU believes an accessible and affordable education remains at the heart of building stronger individuals and communities, and we look forward to the opportunities this Strategic Partnership creates.”
