Our mission to improve the health status of the communities we serve necessitates our involvement with community service organizations that can positively impact the well-being of the Cedar Valley Area. I have asked all members of Allen management to be actively involved in the community by picking an organization that sparks their interest while having a positive impact. At the most recent management meeting, we took an inventory of what each manager was involved with, and the list is impressive. As an example, Jerry Durham, our Allen College Chancellor, is a member of the Kiwanis Club and was very involved in providing service to the recent air show in Waterloo. The show was viewed very positively and brought in many people who purchased goods and services here in Cedar Valley while attending. It impacted our economy and the morale of this community in a positive way. We have managers involved in the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society and many other organizations.

We Remember The 2,973 people who perished September 11, 2001 after hijacked planes crashed in New York City in Arlington, Virginia and in Pennsylvania. The victims were mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers of many faiths and races who came from more than 80 nations.  All who were killed died working and living the American dream.

The Spiritual Care Team at Allen Hospital invites everyone to a special 9/11 Remembrance on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September 9th, 10th and 11th in  Meeting Room #1. You are welcome to stop by any time during those days from 7:00am to 7:00pm and share a memory, a prayer, or a hope for the future of our country and our world.

Chaplains will also offer services of peaceful remembrance, silent meditation and prayer in the Chapel on Sunday, September 11 at 8:00 am, 2:00 pm and 4:00  pm. 

May God bless our nation with healing and hope as we honor the Tenth Anniversary of 9/11.

The Call Center will move to the area next to Work Rehab in approximately five weeks.
