Sioux City, Iowa — MercyOne in Sioux City has announced the launch of its military and veterans health care program. Mercy’s Jessica Hanson says the initiative is designed to improve the care given to military service members, veterans and their families.
She says the training is a key part of the initiative.
Hanson says the hospital’s patient admission process has been updated so military members are identified upon arrival and care is provided with a more in-depth understanding of their needs.
There are more than 180-thousand veterans living in Iowa. That number does not include those currently serving their country through the guard or reserves.
