The new application describes the project as “a combined, comprehensive approach of collaboration, modernization, and construction at 200 Hawkins Drive and additional institutional health facility space at Forevergreen Road to modernize the existing UIHC institutional health facility to address the unmet tertiary care needs of Iowans.” The five-member State Health Facilities Council on Feb. 17 denied UIHC’s first application for the project.
