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

  • New resources for patients as UI Health Care integration efforts continue

    Phil Stover, chief executive officer, Mission Cancer + Blood

    Almost six months ago, we joined University of Iowa Health Care with a shared vision of creating a statewide network of cancer care to keep high-quality cancer care close to home. Since that time, our teams have been tirelessly learning, collaborating, and building the infrastructure needed to support that vision. I want to thank and recognize the Mission team for the remarkable progress we’ve made together. Read more.

  • Mission Cancer + Blood named Top Workplace

    Mission Cancer + Blood is proud to be named a Top Workplace again this year by The Des Moines Register. The annual program conducts anonymous surveys of workers across the state about their employers.

  • 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.

  • NCODA Center of Excellence (CoE) Medically Integrated Pharmacy (MIP) Accredited

    Mission Cancer + Blood has received the NCODA Center of Excellence (CoE) Medically Integrated Pharmacy (MIP) Accreditation for a period of three years. This accreditation demonstrates our commitment to providing the highest levels of quality care to our patients.

    By pursuing and achieving accreditation, Mission Cancer + Blood has demonstrated that it meets the NCODA accreditation standards based on the ASCO/NCODA Patient-Centered Standards for Medically Integrated Dispensing and is committed to pursuing excellence.

  • Quality Oncology Practice Initiative Certified

    Mission Cancer + Blood is a Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI®) Certified practice through the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The certification process creates a culture of excellence and self-examination that helps practices deliver the best care to their patients. By becoming QOPI Certified, our practice has demonstrated its commitment to quality to patients, payers, and the medical community.

Beginning June 2, 2025 you will see a change in our medical records platform. We are converting some of our Mission Cancer + Blood locations and patient records to the EPIC system currently used by UI Health Care.

We have recently transitioned to a new electronic health record system. While we work through these new processes, you may experience longer-than-expected wait times at your appointments or on the phone. Thank you for your patience as we adjust to a new system and thank you for trusting us with your care.
