Mercy Urologist Dr. Matthew Smith recently completed his 250th HoLEP procedure, marking a significant milestone in advancing minimally invasive treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)/enlarged prostate.

This specialized laser procedure offers long-term symptom relief, typically requires only an overnight stay and positions Mercy as a regional leader in bringing this advanced technology to eastern Iowa.

Dr. Smith remains one of the few urologists offering the procedure in the Midwest.

May 12th was declared as Iowa Nurse Honor Guard Day, and three current Mercy Nurse Honor Guards -- Vicki, Laura and Joan (pictured in the first photo) -- attended the ceremony in Des Moines. Representatives from 22 honor guards from across the state were in attendance. Mercy was one of the first in the state to establish a Nursing Honor Guard, and at least two of the honor guards present at the ceremony began after initially attending one of Mercy’s recognition ceremonies.

Currently, 27 former and current Mercy nurses are part of our Nursing Honor Guard, which recognizes and honors men and women who commited their careers to the nursing profession. Since it began more than 15 years ago, these volunteers have paid tribute to more than 75 nurses who dedicated their lives to helping others.

It is our privilege to participate in recognizing nurses and help bring peace to mourners during their time of loss.
