Mission Cancer + Blood is now officially part of University of Iowa Health Care. UI Health Care purchased Mission’s assets on December 31, 2024, several months after the organizations first announced their intent to join forces.
Mission has more than 20 community cancer clinics across Iowa that are now backed by UI Health Care’s National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, bringing the most advanced oncology care closer to home for more Iowans, particularly in rural areas.
Over time, Mission’s patients will have greater access to clinical trials and enhanced resources from UI Health Care and the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, Iowa’s only NCI-designated cancer center.
An official NCI comprehensive cancer center designation is the highest distinction a cancer center can achieve. NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers are recognized for scientific leadership and clinical research, in addition to serving their communities by integrating training and education.
