Major medical service providers including Mercy Medical Center, Physicians' Clinic of Iowa and UnityPoint/St. Luke’s Hospital are committed to developing Cedar Rapids as a medical destination. Representatives from each of these major institutions serve on the commission, along with medical clinics and practices, property owners, and owners of other small and large businesses within the MedQuarter district boundaries.
The completion of the Hall-Perrine Cancer Center, Physicians' Clinic of Iowa’s Medical Pavilion and other developments within the area will help create a convenient, progressive and vibrant experience for patients and their families. The MedQuarter serves as a catalyst for business growth in hospitality, retail, dining, and more.
