    They’re here! 🎉 A shipment of about 1,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech #COVID19 vaccine arrived at our hospital this morning so we can begin vaccinating our employees most closely involved in providing COVID-19-related patient care today.

    Today President-elect Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, spoke with members of our Medical Intensive Care Unit. Today and every day, we are so thankful for everyone at University of Iowa Health Care!
    Tweet from Joe Biden's official account stating: "Jill and I were honored today to talk to some of the heroes on the front lines of this crisis. We’re thankful today and every day for the nurses and firefighters who sacrifice so much to keep our communities safe. We see the very best of America in your courage and selflessness."

    JUST IN: David Conway, RN, was our first employee to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech #COVID19 vaccine. More than 50 other health care employees will receive their vaccine today. We’re proud to be part of this historic moment!

    We condemn the underlying culture of racism and violence in our country that has led us to where we are today. We’re so proud of all our people who participated in #WhiteCoatsForBlackLives, and we stand in solidarity with those who call for justice and reconciliation.
    Faculty and staff kneel during White Coats for Black Lives.

    Research shows that if more than 80% of the population wears a face covering, the pandemic would end. Let’s #MaskUpIA so we can get back to normal sooner! 😷 #COVID19

    Survival story: This 27-year-old woman, pregnant with her second child, was diagnosed with #COVID19. Our team used an advanced form of life support called ECMO so her lungs could heal. We are happy to report that she is now recovering at home, just in time for #MothersDay. 💛

    Do face masks impede your breathing or make you retain carbon dioxide (CO2)? Intensive Care Unit physician Greg Schmidt, MD, settles the argument for us in this week’s #EpiExplains video. #COVID19 #MaskUpIA

    Brooke McKinnon was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 27. Six months later, she rang the bell that celebrates patients' final radiation treatments. Now that's something to smile about. 🤗 #breastcancer #bcsm
