After 17 years on active duty and now Colonel in the Army Reserves, orthopedic surgeon Joseph Galvin, DO, combines his commitment to service with his love of medicine. He continues to serve veterans at the Iowa City Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital as well as patients in our North Liberty and downtown campuses. “To be able to provide world-class care to Veterans gives me a lot of satisfaction,” Dr. Galvin says. “They may be in a different stage of life, but it makes me feel like I’m still taking care of the team.” uihc.pulse.ly/haszyyqdn1

Hawkeyes know that staying healthy helps you show up for the people and moments that matter most. The flu can keep you away from work, school, family gatherings, and other important moments. There’s still time to get your flu shot. uihc.pulse.ly/dqgv0wrahx

Skipped beats, fluttering, and sudden thumps may be caused by PVCs or PACs. These extra heartbeats are often harmless, but recurring episodes or symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath should be evaluated. Learn when to contact a health care provider. uihc.pulse.ly/tvjzw5ip66

Congratulations to Monica Tappe, RN, our DAISY Award recipient! When a patient felt anxious about biopsy results, Monica took time to listen, explain the findings, and offer reassurance. Thank you for showing how compassion and connection make a difference! 💛 uihc.pulse.ly/tmywexo5do

Less than six months after being told she had colon cancer, Paige learned she had breast cancer. "I was so frustrated and so mad because I felt like my body had just betrayed me." Then she learned she could get the expertise of University of lowa Health Care closer to her Clive, lowa, home at Mission Cancer + Blood. "Having everything here and not having to travel for care was really important, to not have to drive in the car for hours on end to go find that prestigious care that you so desperately want."

Four people. Nearly 50 years of combined service. Nursing roots run deep in this family. “When I was younger, just seeing my family in those roles, being so knowledgeable — I thought was super neat,” says Angelina Weaver, BSN, RN. “I wanted to be a nurse or health care worker too." 💛🩺 uihc.pulse.ly/nypcviuupp

Did you know the “mother” of pediatric pain management was a University of Iowa nurse? 💛 Joanne “Jo” Eland, BSN, MA, PhD, transformed how healthcare professionals recognize and treat pain in children, leaving a lasting impact on pediatric care worldwide. While supervising students on the pediatric oncology unit, she noticed that pain in children was treated less aggressively than in adults. Her master's thesis, Children's Communication of Pain, was the first published study to document the disparity, challenging long-standing myths about children's pain and initiating future research and advocacy to prevent the physical and psychological consequences of untreated pain.
