Our Vision
To be a destination academic health system for Iowa and the world that provides an equitable, inclusive, and innovative environment, and fosters the health and well-being of patients, trainees, and employees.
Our "We Care" Values
We strive for an environment where everyone has a voice that is heard; that promotes the dignity of our patients, trainees, and employees; and allows all to thrive in their health, work, research, and education.
We aim to achieve and deliver our personal and collective best in the pursuit of quality and accessible health care, education, and research.
We encourage collaboration with health care systems, providers, and communities across Iowa and the region as well as within our UI community. We believe teamwork—guided by compassion—is the best way to work.
We behave ethically, act with fairness and integrity, take responsibility for our own actions, and respond when errors in behavior or judgment occur.
We are committed to ensuring that UI Health Care is an inclusive environment where individuals from the full spectrum of diversity—which includes identity, backgrounds, cultures, ability, and perspective—feel safe, seen, and valued.
We dedicate ourselves to equity and fairness in research, health care, education, and health.
