Two of the 100 Great Iowa Nurses can be found at Knoxville Hospital & Clinics.

Director of Nursing Deb Swihart and Emergency Room Coordinator Kellie Jones were among those honored in March.
Jones says it’s important to have leadership skills and that it takes a special talent to be a nurse.
Swihart says nursing has always been a passion of hers and it’s great to be recognized for what they see as routine.
The honorees are nominated then selected by a review panel that examines each nominee’s concern for humanity, contribution to the profession, and leadership and mentoring in practice.
