You want to say thank you. We can help.
Patients and their loved ones often ask, "How can I express my thanks to my caregivers?" Maybe it was the compassionate expertise of a nurse, the life-saving care of a doctor or an unexpected act of kindness from a volunteer that made a difference.
Whether you want to celebrate a special caregiver or share your story with others, the UnityPoint Health - Des Moines Foundation team works closely with the health care team to ensure your gratitude is conveyed in the most meaningful way.
Here are some ways to express your thanks for the care you or a loved one received:
Make a Gift in Honor of a Caregiver
Give a donation in honor of a UnityPoint Hospice caregiver, volunteer or department who made a lasting impact on you or your loved one. When you make a gift, your Guardian Angel will receive a letter sharing that a donation has been made in his or her honor. In addition, your Guardian Angel will receive a custom pin to wear proudly.
Make a Gift in Honor of a Loved One
Recognize a loved one with a gift made in their name. Your heartfelt tribute in celebration of this cherished individual will leave a lasting positive impact on the health and well-being of others. Learn more about memorial giving.

The Power of Your Appreciation
"The journey through childhood cancer is more than challenging. The team at Blank Children's did a great job helping Mila forget why she was there. It means everything to have a children's hospital so close to home. Thank you for sharing your generosity. This will be a period in our lives we will never forget."
- Erin, Mila's mom.
