Self-Perform Work

Located on the Muscatine Community College campus, this new $6 million Community Health Care clinic provides medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmaceutical services to the Muscatine community. The facility consolidates services CHC has offered locally since 2020 into one centralized location, improving access to affordable, high-quality care.

The project is the result of nearly 20 years of planning and collaboration among Eastern Iowa Community Colleges, local healthcare partners, community leaders, and philanthropic organizations. In addition to serving patients, the clinic creates unique opportunities for students by connecting education, healthcare access, and workforce development.

Bush Construction served as the general contractor, with design by Vantage Architects. The wood-framed building, constructed by our Bush Self-Perform team, includes exam rooms, dental suites, behavioral health spaces, and a pharmacy. A key feature is the sealed, colored concrete flooring throughout, achieved through careful protection and phased sealing during construction, delivering a durable, finished look at a reduced cost.

From Tom Bowman, Community Health Care CEO on working with Bush Construction:

“Community Health Care, Inc. has partnered with Bush Construction on a variety of projects, from building brand new medical facilities from the ground up to handling smaller-scale remodels. We truly feel Bush is much more than a general contractor—they are a real construction partner. Bush brings a wealth of expertise to our projects, supporting us through design, construction, and even helping with new market tax credits. Their approach is full-service, and their commitment shows in every stage of the process.

The construction teams consistently deliver work that’s both timely and on budget, which has resulted in beautiful spaces for our patients to receive high-quality health services. As a non-profit healthcare provider, every penny matters, and we have tremendous confidence knowing that the Bush team is genuinely invested in our success.”
