These rankings offer yet another confirmation of our commitment to overall excellence. Putting patients first has always been our focus. Sometimes this translates into high rankings, but it always translates into the best that health care has to offer. I am very pleased and proud to see our physicians and staff recognized for the world-class care that they provide. This is a much-deserved honor. Congratulations to all of you, and thank you for all that you do every day to serve our patients. You truly make the “Iowa Difference.”
