Congratulations to Kelly Wilson of Younker 7 for receiving an UnityPoint Health - Des Moines ACE Award. The ACE (Always Committed to Excellence) Awards recognize the outstanding achievements of UnityPoint Health - Des Moines employees. Below is the nomination letter written for Kelly and an example of the great care she provides.

Angel of Mercy, Guardian Angel, Kelly Wilson, RN..these names should always appear together for they are one and the same. Kelly's compassion, understanding and patience with the care of our mother cannot be taught in a college classroom. These attributes come from within and are a blessing to every patient and family she encounters. How fortunate for Iowa Methodist Medical Center that you possessed the wisdom to hire her. My mother and our family express our deepest gratitude.

Kelly was nominated by a patient's family: Marcia Clark, Lisa Kelsey, Marilyn Brattskar, John Wangberg and David Wangberg
