This Veterans Day we are reminded of the unwavering commitment our veterans have made in their service to our country. We are honored to work alongside Sharon Lee, APRN, FNP-C, Lt. Col. (Ret.), who served in the Air Force Reserves for 25 years, and Jill Hull, COO of Teledym Health, who served as a medic in the Air Force for eight years.
We also want to recognize Ava Spinar, daughter of Dr. Anne Perlman and David Spinar. Ava is a Second Lieutenant in the US Army.
A special thank you to Sharon, Jill, and Ava, and to all veterans for their dedication and service to our country.

Our IPA Team in Grand Island decided to participate in Bryan Health's Pumpkin Competition. Check out their pumpkin that was painted to resemble Dr. Mitchell Hervert. The result was a striking and humorous likeness that captured not only his distinguished features but also his playful personality. We hope you all have a safe and spook-tacular Halloween!

Beyond the physical benefits, the Lincoln Corporate Games provide an excellent platform for giving back to the community. At IPA, we recognize the importance of community service and the impact it can have on the lives of others. This year, our team was thrilled to collect and donate 117 pounds of goods to the local Food Bank. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a worthy cause.

Wish these to Autumn loving Virgos a Happy Birthday! Celebrating a birthday during the fall season can be a truly memorable experience! 🍁
It's Alyssa Joya's birthday today, the FIRST official day of Fall! Alyssa is IPA's Administrative Assistant! She will be spending her birthday evening celebrating with her family and probably eating a slice (or two😉) of pumpkin pie next to the fire pit!
Angela Krafka, APRN, will be kicking off her birthday tomorrow to celebrate the season of Fall with her family. This usually involves golf, 🍎 picking and baking some yummy fall treats - "it is my favorite time of year!"

Quote from employee survey: “We have a culture of working well together. There is mutual respect among physicians and associates.”
Hospitalist care has been well received within our community and across the country.

Patients appreciate having a physician immediately available to answer questions and to meet with their families at any time.
