2The joy and generosity of the season is upon us and Iowa’s hospitals gladly join in the festivities. Yet, the grandest gifts of 70,000 hospital employees cannot be boxed and wrapped but are available at all hours of every day. The healing hands, sincere smiles and true compassion – these are the gifts you bestow each day to your friends, neighbors and communities. And for that, we are all deeply grateful. From everyone at the Iowa Hospital Association, season’s greetings!

2010 was a busy year for the Iowa Hospital Association. All year, IHA has hosted a number of events and educational programs on behalf of hospital advocates from around the state such as Legislative Day and the IHERF Swinging for Scholars golf outing.
IHA also proudly promoted health care careers in Iowa and honored another year’s worth of Hospital Heroes at the 81st IHA Annual Meeting. IHA travelled to every district in the state to interact with members and celebrate the great work being accomplished every day.
