Mission Cancer + Blood

World-Class Cancer Care
In Your Community

Hear From Our Physicians

As you or a loved one fight the unimaginable, we are right by your side, and right next door. Mission is a community-based healthcare team of cancer and blood specialists ready to provide you with the best possible care and treatment options for your needs. 

Since 1981, we’ve been quietly serving those with cancer and blood disorders in all of central Iowa’s major medical facilities. The level of cancer care we provide — with evidence-based treatments, tumor boards, genetic counseling, and clinical trials — matches or exceeds the care available in any community oncology practice anywhere in the country. 

Cancer Care. For Life.

Overcoming Is Underway

Community-Based Network Of Physicians

  • Mission Cancer + Blood now officially part of University of Iowa Health Care

    Mission Cancer + Blood is now officially part of University of Iowa Health Care, paving the way for a statewide comprehensive cancer care network aimed at keeping high-quality cancer care local for Iowans.

    UI Health Care purchased Mission’s assets on Dec. 31, 2024, several months after the organizations first announced their intent to join forces to fight cancer in Iowa. 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.
