Let’s take a moment to recognize how staff across the PRK Williams Companies family bring their passion for improving lives beyond the workplace and into our community. 💙

Sue Schantz., HRIS Analyst, also serves as the Volunteer Coordinator for Eastern Iowa Honor Flight — a role she has proudly held for several years.

“I went on the Honor Flight with my dad and his two brothers in April of 2019. We started volunteering right after. About a year later, I took over the Volunteer Coordinator role and have been doing that ever since,” Sue shared.

For Sue, the most meaningful part of the experience is the people.

“My favorite part of Eastern Iowa Honor Flight is the people I meet—not only the other coordinators and volunteers, but also the veterans and their families. I love that we all come together to give each veteran a day in their honor and the welcome home that they deserve.”

Eastern Iowa Honor Flight provides veterans with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the memorials and monuments built in honor of their sacrifice and service to our country. Sue helps ensure every flight runs smoothly by coordinating a fleet of more than 300 dedicated volunteers who make each mission possible.

We are proud to celebrate Sue’s dedication, compassion, and commitment to serving our community. Thank you, Sue, for making a difference both at PRK Williams Companies and beyond!

A heartfelt message of gratitude and recognition during Nurses Week 2026 from Wendy Kohl, RN, To The Rescue Home Health Clinical Manager / Administrator:

"I have the great privilege of leading a phenomenal group of Home Health Nurses. They expertly and distinctly touch the lives of every client that they encounter. They continuously live our mission throughout their workday, and they strive to provide the best possible care for our clients.

Our clients would not be able to continue to live at home without their efforts, and that is why we are all here. They are all highly empathetic, skilled nurses who are fiercely devoted to our clients. They all go above and beyond on a regular basis, and they often become thought of as family as a result.

Happy Nurses Week! You definitely deserve a week dedicated to your passion and commitment to giving top-notch care. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued excellence!"

❤️
