A Message from the CEO...

The theme for Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics for 2023 is “be”* (as in “be authentic” or “be balanced” or “be calm” - a new letter after “be” weekly). This changing theme is reflected in our weekly staff newsletter and forces me to think of my authentic or balanced self and how calm I am. This is hard. I have to reflect on my values and my shortcomings and weekly for the next 49 weeks decide how each “theme” word impacts and affects on a daily basis.
