University of Iowa Health Care consists of a partnership among the UI Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, and University of Iowa Physicians. Together they work to fulfill our three missions of research, education and patient care. UI Health Care combines the finances, planning, information systems, communications and marketing legal and governmental affairs with fundraising and development under a single senior leadership team.

The result is an organization that provides seamless, world-class medical care while engaging the cutting-edge research and top-notch education and training. It allows us to fully integrate, raise standards, and advance UI Health Care to the next level of distinction. 

As Iowa’s only academic medical center, The University of Iowa plays a unique role in Iowa’s health care system. This is where biomedical research, medical and science education, and world class patient care come together. We are a resource, not only for patients, but for employers, for businesses, for doctors and other health care professionals, for public officials, and for Iowans from every county in the state.

Our presence is by no means confined to the state of Iowa. Our impact is global; people from around the world come here to learn, to conduct cutting-edge research, to teach, and to be treated by our outstanding medical and professional staff.
