This community-voted recognition from Radio Keokuk reflects Dooley’s compassion, commitment to patient progress, and the trust she has built with those she serves.
“I’m honored to receive this award,” said Dooley. “Helping patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence is incredibly meaningful. I’m grateful to be part of a team that truly puts patient care at the heart of everything we do.”
Memorial Hospital provides Physical and Occupational Therapy services to acute inpatients five days a week, ensuring consistent, high-quality rehabilitative support during each patient’s stay.
