Welcome! We're glad you're here!
We are the nurses at UnityPoint Health - Des Moines: Iowa Methodist Medical Center, Blank Children's Hospital, Methodist West Hospital, and lowa Lutheran Hospital. We are united in our commitment to advocating for the rights and well-being of registered nurses and the patients we serve. Through solidarity and collective action, we seek to secure fair compensation, improved healthcare benefits, safe staffing ratios, and improved working conditions that prioritize the health and safety of both patients and registered nurses.
Our mission is to empower nurses to create a healthier, more sustainable future for all healthcare professionals, not only within UnityPoint Health, but also the communities we serve throughout the state of Iowa. With the successful formation of this union, we will have real representation and negotiate a legally binding contract to ensure:
- Safer conditions for both patients and staff

- Secure retirement
- Improved time-off structure
- Grievance procedure
United we bargain, divided we beg.
