Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics today announced it has been awarded a Top Workplaces for Nursing 2026 honor by Nurse.com in recognition of its commitment to creating an exceptional workplace that supports and empowers nurses. 
Top Workplaces for Nursing is a national employer recognition award developed by Energage, the HR technology company behind the program, and Nurse.com, a community where more than 3 million nurses connect with peers, apply for jobs, and earn continuing education.
Organizations were honored based solely on employee feedback gathered through the confidential Energage Workplace Survey.

Benchmarked against their peers using Energage’s national data, winners scored significantly higher in key indicators of nurse engagement and satisfaction, overall employee experience, including whether nurses feel respected and supported, enabled to grow their careers, and empowered to provide quality care.
“Each of these winning organizations has demonstrated they provide what nurses nationwide are saying they need to stay and thrive,” said Kay Krafft, Relias CEO. “I believe I speak for everyone at Nurse.com and the entire Relias family when I say it’s our honor to spotlight leaders who invest in their people. Employer support helps workforces perform at their best, and nowhere is that more critical than in healthcare.”
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
