UnityPoint Health Marshalltown staff are shown spelling out a giant Thank You in the downtown hospital parking lot Sunday. It was all part of saying thank you to all of the facility’s team members, partners and others who assisted the hospital when a EF-3 tornado hit Marshalltown July 19. Employees, partners and others were rewarded with free barbecue catered by the local Hy-Vee, music and balloon animals.

“Thanks Unity Point,” wrote Jennie Pitzen Weitzell on UnityPoint Health-Marshalltown Facebook page. “Balloon animals are fun, no matter what age.”
