University of Iowa Health Care unveiled its finished North Liberty Medical Campus on April 11, ahead of the official opening later in the month, according to the Iowa City Press-Citizen.
The Iowa City-based system reported that more than 250 community and business leaders came together to hear remarks from university leaders and take facility tours. The organization also held a community open house for the public on April 12.
