Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids is pleased to announce that five of its nurses have been selected among the 2024 Great Iowa Nurses.

The Great Iowa Nurses program honors Iowa nurses who routinely go above and beyond every day to ensure safe, compassionate care for patients. These great nurses share their experience and knowledge to improve the health of their communities.
