Iowa Health Care Association
Chris Sund delivered two sessions for long-term and post-acute care leaders from across Iowa — the Power of Small Moments keynote and the You Are Capable of More: Leadership workshop.
Leading long-term care
across Iowa.
The Iowa Health Care Association represents long-term and post-acute care providers across Iowa — the skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and care organizations serving the state’s seniors and their families. Its conference brings together administrators, directors, and frontline leaders for education and connection around the workforce, leadership, and operational challenges shaping care in Iowa.
Two sessions in Iowa.
A keynote on the moments that shape resident and family experience, and an interactive leadership workshop.
Chris opened with the small, repeatable moments that decide how care actually feels — to residents, to families, and to the staff delivering it — and gave leaders a way to build those moments into everyday practice instead of leaving them to chance.
Chris facilitated an open exchange among healthcare leaders on the real challenges of leading teams today — retention, culture, motivation, and change — turning shared experience into practical takeaways each leader can bring back to their organization.
Retention
What actually keeps good people in long-term care.
Culture
Building an environment teams want to stay in.
Motivation
Building energy that holds through hard shifts.
Leading Change
Guiding teams through constant operational pressure.
