College Partnerships

“Students who have completed a rotation at Mary Greeley have given rave reviews on how kind and compassionate the employees are, and how much they have learned from the nurses on the floor, including the awesome clinical instructors who have supported the partnership by teaching our students.” -Carrie Hollerud MSN, RN Nursing Clinical Director for Mercy College of Health Sciences

“The clinical and preceptor rotations within Mary Greeley Medical Center have provided DMACC nursing students with exceptional learning opportunities. Aside from the vast patient-care experiences, these learning opportunities allow students to see first-hand the nursing standards learned in the classroom; from patient-centered care, professionalism, to collaboration.” -Katie Namovicz DMACC District Chair/Campus Chair/Instructor

High School Partnerships

We increased our outreach and engagement with local high schools in 2022. From hosting tours for students, to presenting in classrooms, we have made a positive impact on students’ knowledge and interest in healthcare careers.

Internships

The Mary Greeley Internship Program was rolled out in 2022 to all leaders for hosting paid student interns aligning with a business need across the organization. We hosted clinical and non-clinical students for internships from Iowa State University, Grandview University, Morningside College, and Iowa Lakes Community College.

The internship program is supported by the Mary Greeley Foundation.
