NEW Program Nurses Honored for 2018 Success

PELLA, Iowa— As part of the Nurse Week celebration at Pella Regional Health Center, nursing staff who have participated in the NEW (Nursing Excellence Within) Program from 2018 are honored.

The program centers on professional development, professional practice and behaviors, outcomes and community connections.
