Q: What makes your business special?
A: The Iowa Clinic Total Cancer Care offers Central Iowa’s first truly integrated, multi-disciplinary cancer care delivery system. Our coordinated care approach ensures that patients benefit from the collective expertise of specialists working together to develop the best possible treatment plan. With access to diagnostic testing, oncology, surgery, radiology, pathology and more, patients can move from diagnosis to treatment without unnecessary delays.

Q: How does your business contribute to the community?
A: Iowa has the nation’s second-highest rate of new cancers. We make expert, comprehensive cancer care more accessible, coordinated and cost-effective so that more Iowans get timely, multidisciplinary support that improves their outcomes and quality of life.

Q: What is unique or noteworthy about your team?
A: Our team of oncologists trained at the nation’s top cancer centers, and they work closely with our skilled surgical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, physical therapists and — soon — radiation oncologists. This ensures that whether a patient needs surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, rehabilitation or ongoing monitoring, their care is seamless and comprehensive.

Q: What is your company’s mission, vision or values?
A: The Iowa Clinic’s vision is to be a leading force for healthy lives in Iowa. By strengthening cancer care through coordinated multi-disciplinary treatment, we help patients get high-quality care closer to home and at a lower cost — which helps them navigate a difficult diagnosis with confidence and hope.
