In 1977, The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) established the Staff Screening Clinic (Clinic A, UIHC) to provide a health screening service for the faculty and staff of UIHC. In 1983, the University established the University Occupational Health Service (228 Westlawn, Building S) to monitor other University employees who were occupationally exposed to potential hazards. On March 17, 1997, the University Occupational Health Service and Staff Screening Clinic merged to become the University Employee Health Clinic (UEHC). This merger creates a coordinated and comprehensive employee health service for the University.
