Day in the Life

"UnityPoint supports my goals and my lifestyle outside of work by offering a very competitive PTO program. I'm able to take time off to be with my family. My manager encourages us to just do what you can do to be happy, and they want that for you. We know that here; we feel that. That's a really great thing to have from your management."

"UnityPoint Health gives you a lot of different career paths and a lot of ladders to climb. If you want to keep progressing in your career, there's just never an end to what you can learn."

"UnityPoint really attracted my attention because they focus a lot on their employees. Their values emphasize that "we are the 'you' in UnityPoint." I am a firm believer that employers who take care of their employees achieve better outcomes. When employees are excited to go to work, patients see and feel that energy."

"UnityPoint Health's focus values really shine through, especially "fostering unity." We work as a team within each department in the lab, and we also work very closely with physicians and nursing staff to ensure patient results are as accurate as possible for treatment. I thoroughly enjoy what I do every day, and every day is different. It means a lot to me to be able to come full circle and give back to my community. UnityPoint Health is very community-oriented. They support us as employees as much as they can, providing us with outlets and team bonding activities outside of work. They also give back to the community, and that means a lot to me."

"What I love most about UnityPoint Health in my role is the opportunity to make a difference and see the patient cared for from the start of care to discharge. I also love seeing their growth throughout that process—how they improve in their health and how the whole experience, including that bond with the patient, develops. I think that’s a really unique and special part of UnityPoint Health and Home Care."

"If I were talking to someone interested in UnityPoint Health, I would tell them to come and see what it's like. UnityPoint is one big family, and there is room to grow. They offer scholarships and make sure you can balance work with school and family life. The flexibility at UnityPoint Health is great—they will work with you no matter what. I know people who started as medical assistants and are now in nursing school. They’re able to pick shifts to match their schedules and still have time for family. We like to have fun, but we also know that patient care comes first. They’ve taught us how to balance having fun while still taking care of patients."
