At our medical centers and clinics, we provide adult and pediatric primary and specialty care to patients and families from across Iowa, throughout the nation, and around the world.

Our patient care campuses:

University campus

With adult and pediatric inpatient care services plus primary and specialty care clinics, our university campus location includes the medical center, Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, Stead Family Children’s Hospital, and the Center for Disabilities and Development on Hawkins Drive.

Downtown campus

Part of our academic health system since January 2024, our downtown location on East Market Street serves southeast Iowa.

North Liberty campus

Access and convenience you expect. Care and expertise you deserve. That’s what you’ll find at our North Liberty campus— a new hospital and medical office building and home to the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation.

In addition to our campus locations, we provide care at outpatient and walk-in clinic locations in the Iowa City-Coralville area and communities across the state.

Our clinical enterprise comprises nearly 20,000 staff members, including more than 1,200 staff physicians and dentists, nearly 800 resident and fellow physicians, and over 5,300 nursing staff members.

Through innovation, collaboration, and expertise, we are committed to providing safe, high-quality care with excellent service and exceptional outcomes.

In addition to serving as a referral center for highly specialized care, we conduct research to better understand, prevent, and treat injuries and illnesses. We also educate students and trainees in medicine and allied health professions.
