Mission

World-Class Cancer Care
In Your Own Backyard

World-Class

Close To Home. Closer To Heart.

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. We are proud partners with the John Stoddard Cancer Center at Unity Point and the MercyOne Cancer Center and work with them closely in providing the best care to our patients. 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.

We will meet you where you are – close to home!

Mission strives to serve patients close to their home. We have always worked very closely with independent county hospitals as well as hospitals owned by or affiliated with our partners MercyOne or Unity Point.

Our Physician teams are traveling every day of the week all over the state of Iowa to ensure your care is received close to home. Our teams love the weekly opportunity to practice in the smaller communities that make Iowa so special.
We’re here. For you. For life.

At Mission, the staff is passionate about your treatment and care. We are proud of the fact that the average tenure of Mission clinical staff is over 8 years which is over 3x higher than the healthcare industry average. Our experienced clinical staff is here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

At Mission, when you call, you will always connect with a person, not a computer.
An entire team dedicated to you!

At Mission Cancer + Blood we know how important the relationship between physician and patient is, that’s why we have established individual physician teams that work closely together to care for you or your loved one. The clinic teams are led by the Physician but you will also receive care from an Advanced Practice Provider (PA or ARNP), a dedicated Registered Nurse, possibly a Certified Nursing Assistant, and a Patient Scheduler. You will get to know each team member and have the comfort of knowing your care is being coordinated by a team of care professionals and supervised by your Physician.
