University of Iowa Health Care - the strong collaboration between UI
Hospitals and Clinics and the UI College of Medicine-makes a difference in
our drive for prominence in health care delivery.
We work hard to identify strategic goals and to set the bar even higher, so
we become the preferred provider as well as the employer of choice. UI
Health Care is an elaborate system of connections and collaborations that
enables us to bring the best from the world of the research bench to the
patient's bedside in a timely manner.
That is what we have that many other medical centers do not have-the ability
to be right in step with medicine as it changes dynamically. Medicine is
undergoing a paradigm shift from a science based on germ theory to a science
based on molecular theory. For so long the focus had been on identifying
agents of disease and discovering treatments to wipe out those diseases.
While that certainly remains an important part of medicine today, the
medicine of tomorrow is focused on molecular research-understanding how
genes and cells are able to produce changes that promote healing. We are
doing this at UI Health Care. We can lead in this area while others cannot.
UI Health Care has made the commitment to become the provider of choice in
the area. One of the ways we will accomplish that objective is through our
relationship with education and research, knowing that it will result in
meeting the increasing demand for specialty services through clinical
differentiation.
