Now, more than ever. Thank you.

2022 Hospital Heroes Ceremony

Help us celebrate our heroes.

Rising to every challenge

Help us celebrate our heroes.

We share our gratitude for the unsung heroes in our hospitals across Iowa. In less challenging times, you serve patients with expertise and compassion. But in the darker days and deeper difficulties during the pandemic, your strength, professionalism and dedication to patients — and to each other — has been nothing short of heroic. For all you’ve done, for all you do every day, we thank you.

Nominate your hospital hero

IHA’s Hospital Heroes program celebrates employees who have acted courageously in a crisis or who have selflessly served their hospitals and communities throughout their careers. At our annual meeting in October, IHA recognizes 10 hospital employees who exemplify the passion and purpose of the community hospital mission.
