Dr. Thompson Named Hospital Hero

Dr. Craig Thompson, Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Services Medical Director, has received one of the Iowa Hospital Association’s Hospital Hero awards for demonstrating exceptional commitment to care and service.

Dr. Thompson was one of 10 employees of Iowa hospitals to receive the 2023 recognition.

Since 2007, the Hospital Heroes program has celebrated employees who have acted courageously in a moment’s crisis or who have selflessly served their hospitals and communities throughout their careers. Hospital Heroes are nominated by their peers – more than 30 nominations were submitted this year – and award recipients are selected by other state hospital associations. Hospital Heroes are recognized during the Iowa Hospital Association’s annual meeting in October.

RMC says Dr. Thompson’s impact is deep, from delivering new life into this world to extending his compassionate touch to emergency crises and end-of-life care, with over 40 years of devoted service.
