The Iowa Hospital Association, in partnership with the Iowa Department of Education and hospitals statewide, announced it will host the second annual Health Sciences Career Day on Thursday, May 14, from 9 a.m. to noon. The virtual event is designed to introduce Iowa middle and high school students to in-demand health care careers through videos and live panel discussions. Program areas for 2026 include pharmacy, nursing, radiology, physical therapy, emergency medical services and surgical services, with presentations from hospitals such as MercyOne, UnityPoint Health and Great River Health. “Workforce and staffing shortages remain one of the top concerns we hear from hospital leaders in Iowa,” Chris Mitchell, IHA president and CEO, said in a prepared statement. “In partnership with the Iowa Department of Education and hospitals across the state, Health Sciences Career Day introduces students to many diverse and rewarding career opportunities in health care.”
