Hospitals across the nation will celebrate National
Hospital Week this next week (May 11-15). The recognition was introduced by the
American Hospital Association in 1921 as a way to celebrate the employees that
support the health of their communities through compassionate care and
commitment.
Today, this has become the largest healthcare event
celebrating all healthcare institutions including hospitals, hospices, clinics,
and many others. According to the AHA, hospitals serve as economic
contributors, gateways to care, centers for innovation, and are committed to
quality and safety.
As National Hospital Week emerges, consider giving
thanks to all of the people that contribute to the overall function of your
hospital – Grinnell Regional Medical Center – such as physicians, nurses,
therapists, engineers, food service workers, volunteers, administrators, and
many others. GRMC currently has 400 employees and 200 volunteers that all take
part in the community’s health.
Different branches of the hospital contribute
services that are vital in meeting the healthcare needs of the more than 40,000
residents in the Poweshiek, Jasper,
Benton, Iowa, Mahaska, and Tama counties.
Together, we are
making miracles happen every day in the lives of our patients and clients.
