Cardiologist Joins GRMC’s Visiting Specialty Clinic

Grinnell Regional Medical Center welcomed Ramzi Nassouhi El Accaoui, MD, cardiologist from The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in January. El Accaoui
(L ah-COW-ee) will see patients in the GRMC Visiting Specialty Clinic on the second floor of the Ahrens Medical Arts Building.

As a cardiologist with The University of Iowa College of Medicine and UI Hospitals and Clinics, El Accaoui provides follow-up care to cardiac care patients having been seen at the university. He also provides evaluations and consults in the clinic for patients who are referred by their physicians.

El Accaoui earned his medical degree from the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. He also completed an internal medicine residency at both the American University of Beirut Medical Center, and The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. He also completed a fellowship in cardiovascular medicine at the The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

“We’ve very pleased to welcome Dr. El Accaoui. He’s a highly trained cardiologist, giving Grinnell residents another option for care. He will be an excellent addition to our specialty clinic,” says Todd C. Linden, GRMC president and CEO.

El Accaoui began in January replacing Michael Kienzle, MD, cardiologist, The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, who accepted a leadership position with the UI’s new Iowa River Landing Outreach Clinics. Physicians can refer patients by calling the GRMC Visiting Specialty Clinic at 641-236-2925.
