Clarinda, IA  – Partners in Exceptional Care of Clarinda Regional Health Center received a Governor’s Volunteer Award from Governor Kim Reynolds during a special recognition ceremony held June 25th in Ankeny.

 Twenty-two volunteers were honored with an Individual Service award by Clarinda Regional Health Center for their hours volunteering within the hospital and out in the community to improve the lives of its patients. Volunteers help Clarinda Regional Health Center fulfill its mission to advance exceptional care each and every day.

 More than 400 awards were presented this year. It is estimated that over 85 communities in Iowa were served by this year’s honorees.

 “Those being recognized are the people who invest in others without expecting anything in return—except, of course, for the fulfillment that comes from doing their part to give back to their community,” said Gov. Kim Reynolds. “This collective impact is nothing short of remarkable.”

Coordinated by Volunteer Iowa, a program within the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (Iowa HHS), the Governor's Volunteer Award program—now in its 40th year—provides an easy way for Iowa nonprofits, charitable organizations, and government entities to honor their volunteers with a prestigious, state-level award. More information is available at volunteeriowa.org.
