A new patient care tower is one of several major projects aimed at transforming UI Health Care’s ability to care for Iowans in future decades and generations. Several projects are required to ‘enable’ construction of the tower.

Because the future patient care tower will be built on the footprint of existing Hospital Parking Ramp 1 and the Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Center, several “enabling” projects are required to make way for the tower.   

Much progress has been made on several of these projects since we first announced plans to build the new tower.
